In June 2007 the Office of the Auditor General (OAG) released a performance audit report into the Department of Labour’s management of immigration identity fraud within the Refugee Quota and Skilled Migrant categories. This audit made 15 recommendations to address identity fraud gaps.
All the recommendations are either in process, or will be addressed through our Immigration Business Transformation programme over time.
The Department has now begun work to strengthen the areas of weakness highlighted by the report. It has done this by establishing a project team to manage implementation of the recommendations.
The project team will deliver short and medium term solutions to reinforce and strengthen existing systems for collecting and evaluating identity fraud information.
The information on this page will be continually reviewed and updated so it is possible to see what progress is being made against each recommendation
