The APS Commissioner has published a statement confirming that two independent investigations, conducted from October 2024 to April 2025, found no substantiated breaches of the APS Code of Conduct in his conduct of the Robodebt Code of Conduct Inquiry. Ten allegations were made by two separate complainants and investigated by senior public servants with independent expert support. The statement was released proactively following FOI disclosure of related documents by the Merit Protection Commission.
