Gifts, Benefits and Hospitality

Transparent and accountable practices are vital to maintaining the Victorian community’s trust in the Victorian Legal Services Board and Commissioner (VLSB+C), and its confidence that public resources are being used responsibly and appropriately.

As public officials, our management of gifts, benefits and hospitality is a practical demonstration of our integrity, impartiality and accountability. It allows the community, business associates and Government to be confident that we make decisions and provide advice free of favouritism, influence, and conflict of interest.

We understand that sometimes people or organisations would like to thank us for our work and want to do this by giving a gift or providing a benefit or hospitality. We appreciate the gesture, but we want you to know that ‘thanks’ is enough. If you’d like to thank us, send a simple card, a letter or an email.
