Australia’s Lobbying Code of Conduct

Australia’s Lobbying Code of Conduct sets rules for lobbyists to ensure transparency and integrity when they seek to influence government decisions. It requires lobbyists to act honestly, disclose their activities and interests, and avoid conflicts of interest. The code promotes accountability by ensuring lobbyists interact ethically with public officials and make information accessible. Its aim is to build public trust by fostering responsible advocacy that upholds the integrity of the democratic process, balancing lobbyists’ role with transparency and accountability standards.
