IBAC's public apology to 'Emma'

On 2 May 2026, IBAC Commissioner Victoria Elliott apologised and published a public statement on behalf of IBAC to Dr Jana Katerinskaja and their children for what they endured after they complained to IBAC.

IBAC also apologised for the way it handled Dr Katerinskaja's complaints and for the way it publicly responded to criticisms the Victorian Inspectorate (now Integrity Oversight Victoria) made about IBAC's handling of those complaints.
