Ethical Behaviour

The Community of Practice for Ethical Behaviour (CoPEB) aims to grow the capability of the NSW public sector workforce, including those from local government, universities, and NSW state owned corporations, in navigating ethical issues. 

We seek to generate and maintain an active community of professionals with an interest in ethical issues through:

  • facilitating the exchange of best practice information
  • helping identify trends
  • sharing solutions and potential responses to emerging issues and risks
  • contributing to mutual learning.

CoPEB is a joint initiative between the NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption, the Audit Office of NSW, the NSW Ombudsman, the Information and Privacy Commission, and the Office of the Public Service Commissioner. 

Join our community

CoPEB provides opportunities to connect with people in a diverse range of roles across the sector. Our membership is open to: 

  • anyone working or volunteering for a state government department or agency, NSW local council, university or state owned corporation
  • those in areas such as governance, HR, ethical standards units, corruption prevention, and legal (among others)
  • those interested in building their understanding of how to navigate ethical challenges that may arise in the course of their public sector employment.

Our Advisory Board sets our direction and priorities and promotes opportunities to grow capability.
