DECLARATION:
I declare that the information in this declaration and in any other documents completed by me and/or any other statement made
by me in support of my application for employment in the South Australian public sector, and the information provided by me in
connection with my application for employment in the South Australian public sector, including in any interview, is true and correct
in every detail.
DISCLOSURE OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
I acknowledge that if I am employed in the public sector either in the role for which I have been oered or in any other role, I
may, during the course of that employment, gain access to condential information. Detailed provisions regarding disclosure of
condential information are contained in relevant public sector legislation, regulations, determinations, guidelines and industrial
instruments. Without detracting from such sources, unless such information is clearly not of a condential nature, and unless I am
expressly advised to the contrary by someone with requisite authority, policy or as required by law all information I gain access to
as a public sector employee is to be treated as condential. The expression “condential information” as used in this declaration
means all information which must be treated as being of a condential nature. I understand that I must not disclose or make use
of that condential information, during or after that employment, except in the proper course of my duties and/or with requisite
authority and/or otherwise according to law. In particular, I undertake not to use any condential information gained by virtue of
any public sector employment, with the intent of securing a benet for myself, any person, company or any future employer. In any
case where I am in doubt as to whether information gained during employment in the South Australian public sector is condential
and/or how such information should be managed, I undertake to seek advice and instruction from a supervisor or manager.
POTENTIAL OR ACTUAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST
I undertake that if I am employed in the public sector either in the role for which I have been oered or in any other role, I will not
engage in any external or private activities which will result in a conict or potential conict of interest with any of my duties as
a public sector employee. I am aware that detailed provisions regarding conict of interest and disclosure of conict of interest
are contained in relevant public sector legislation, and guidelines. Without detracting from such sources, in any case where there
is any possible doubt regarding a potential conict of interest, I undertake to seek advice and instruction from a supervisor or
manager.
