The Lobbyists' Code of Conduct

The Lobbyists’ Code of Conduct (2023) defines standards of ethical behaviour that lobbyists must comply with. These standards work alongside ethical frameworks that apply to federal officials.

The Code applies to any individual who must be identified as a lobbyist in the Registry of Lobbyists. It covers lobbying activities and interactions that lobbyists have with officials that they lobby or expect to lobby.

The Commissioner of Lobbying administers the Code. Breaches of the Code may result in a report to Parliament.
