The Parliamentary Workplace Standards and Integrity Commission (the commission) is an independent and impartial body. This means we do not advocate for either the person making a report of misconduct or the individual the report is about.
We handle allegations of parliamentary miconduct by members of parliament (MPs), ministers, and parliamentary secretaries.
You can only report conduct that occurred on or after 31 December 2024.
Get support
If you have witnessed or experienced misconduct or have had a report made against you, there are support services that you can access. Please see some suggestions on our Support and resources page.
Electorate officers, parliamentary advisers and parliamentary officers can seek advice and support with workplace matters from the People and Capability Team at the Department of Parliamentary Services by emailing people@parliament.vic.gov.au.

We will consider your report and may request additional information.

Can I withdraw my report?
Yes, you can withdraw your report any time before the commission does any of the following:

You may withdraw your misconduct report at any time before we make a final decision. If the report has been assessed by IBAC to be a public interest disclosure, it cannot be withdrawn.
