COMPLIANCE STATEMENT

Report on omissions and reasons for non-compliance

The Commonwealth Ombudsman discharges the role of ACT Ombudsman.

The ACT Ombudsman is not required to comply with the Annual Report Directions under the Annual Reports Act, but the Commonwealth Ombudsman is required to comply under the Services Agreement with the ACT Government.

Because the Commonwealth Ombudsman discharges the role of ACT Ombudsman, many omitted items are separately reported in the Commonwealth Ombudsman Annual Report 2015–16, which is available at ombudsman.gov.au
