NT Public Sector employees who are not under investigation
NT Public Sector (NTPS) employees who have received a notice issued under section 32, 34 or 75 of the ICAC Act can seek assistance in respect to the particular process from the NT Government Solicitor’s office, the Solicitor for the Northern Territory (SFNT).
SFNT offers a free, confidential one-hour consultation to NTPS employees who are not under investigation.
During the consultation, a lawyer will explain what the notice means and answer questions about the process.
The SFNT cannot provide advice in relation to the actual nature of the matter under investigation. If you require legal assistance in respect the nature of the matter you will need to seek your own independent and private legal advice.
To arrange a consultation, email icac_consultation.sfnt@nt.gov.au
