Foreign interference and foreign bribery

UTS is cognisant of the risk of foreign interference and foreign bribery on its activities. You must report any concerns.

Foreign interference 

Foreign interference is activity that is: 

  • carried out by, or on behalf of, a foreign power 
  • coercive, corrupting, deceptive and/or clandestine, and 
  • contrary to Australia’s sovereignty, values and national interests. 

Foreign interference activities go beyond routine diplomatic influence practised by governments.
