Factsheet: Accountable mining
Australia’s mining sector is not immune to corruption. By working collaboratively to strengthen transparency and accountability, we can ensure it performs to the highest standards of integrity.
Mining is an important part of Australia’s economy and society, with a long history. Though Australia is a mature mining jurisdiction, its mining sector is not immune to corruption.
