Lobbyist Code of Conduct and Register

The South Australian Government has established a Lobbyist Register and introduced a Lobbyist Code of Conduct effective from 1 December 2009.

Subject to limited exceptions, under the new arrangements persons, companies or organisations who conduct lobbying activities with the South Australian Government on behalf of a third party client must be registered on the Lobbyist Register and comply with the Lobbyist Code of Conduct.

This web site provides more information regarding the Code, the processes involved in becoming registered and provides access to the public information that is available in the register.

The Code also applies to government representatives including Ministers, Parliamentary Secretaries, ministerial staff, and persons working in public sector agencies, requiring that they not knowingly and intentionally be a party to lobbying by a Lobbyist who is not registered on the Lobbyist Register.
