Inspector-General of Intelligence and Security (IGIS)
The current Inspector-General of Intelligence and Security (IGIS) is Dr Vivienne Thom.
The IGIS provides independent assurance for the Prime Minister, Senior Ministers and Parliament as to whether Australia's intelligence and security agencies act legally and with propriety by inspecting, inquiring into and reporting on their activities.
The IGIS may inquire into matters concerning ASIO and investigate complaints about us from the public. She reports annually to Government and publishes an unclassified version of the report for parliamentary and public readers. If it is in the public interest, other IGIS reports on specific issues or complaints may be tabled in Parliament and sometimes published.
