A special report by the NSW Ombudsman has recommended that Government agencies be formally reminded that they are not to block individuals from making a report or complaint to NSW integrity bodies.

The Ararteko has prepared a summary of its 2024 Annual Report in English and French to share the main lines of its content at the international level. The purpose of making this report available internationally is to inform peer institutions about the most important aspects of the institution's work and, in doing so, pave the way for future exchanges of concerns and best practices among Ombuds institutions that share the common goal of advancing citizens' rights.

L'Ararteko a élaboré un résumé de son rapport annuel 2024 en anglais et en français afin de faire connaître, au niveau international, les grandes lignes de son contenu. L’objectif de cette diffusion internationale du rapport de l'institution est de faire connaître aux institutions homologues les aspects les plus pertinents de l'action de l'institution et ainsi ouvrir la voie à de futurs échanges d’expériences, de préoccupations et de bonnes pratiques entre les défenseures des droits qui œuvrent pour l’objectif commun d’améliorer les droits des citoyennes.

The Ombudsman’s work in enhancing public service delivery across all levels of government significantly impacts the advancement of Goal 16 of the SDGs. With the SDGs target period concluding in 2030 and progress still lagging, the Ombudsman’s contributions should be continuously promoted. Therefore, the institution issued a concise book presenting a collection of nine articles that document the institution’s efforts in supporting SDG Goal 16 and other related goals. The content reflects oversight results on public services spanning ministries, agencies, and local governments, demonstrating increasing compliance with service standards achieved over nearly ten years.
