Inspector-General of Intelligence and Security (IGIS)

The current IGIS is Mr Ian Carnell. His role, with respect to ASIO, is to ensure the Organisation acts legally and with propriety, complies with ministerial guidelines and directives, and acts with due regard for human rights.

The IGIS may inquire into matters concerning ASIO and investigate complaints about ASIO from the public. He 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 the Parliament and sometimes published.
