Defence’s Gifts and Benefits (including Hospitality) Receiving Policy provides clear, practical guidance for Defence officials, including contractors, on how to manage, assess, and report offers received in the course of their official duties.
It is a key integrity tool that promotes transparency, accountability, and ethical conduct across Defence. By setting clear boundaries and requiring appropriate approvals and disclosures, the policy helps safeguard Defence’s reputation, supports impartial decision-making, and maintains public trust in the organisation’s operations.
It is important that commercial entities and individuals who do or intend to do business with Defence understand the intent of this policy and support Defence’s integrity by refraining from offering gifts, benefits or hospitality to Defence officials.
