There are a number of ways, and I think we've spoken about this before. The Audit Office has tabled reports into the administration of the arrangements under the National Indigenous Australians Agency, and those recommendations have been implemented by NIAA. Since 2014, ANAO has conducted more than 20 performance audits into Indigenous affairs. The ANAO report released earlier this year found that NIAA was not meeting legislated requirements in certain areas, and compliance systems have been put in place. It was under the former government, of course, that that audit was taken.

I would also say that what we do see, across the community services sector, is that you do need to have in place appropriate avenues for investigations where there are allegations of concern. (Time expired)
