The offices of the NSW Labor party have been raided by the state's corruption watchdog.

Staff from the Independent Commission Against Corruption raided the Sussex Street headquarters on Tuesday morning, sources have told AAP.

A Labor party source said the ICAC staff accessed computers when they attended the offices.

The source argued the raid had been timed to coincide with the ALP national conference in Adelaide which is attended by the organisation's heavyweights.

"It's clearly intentional," they told AAP.

A NSW Labor official told AAP they couldn't comment for legal reasons.

An ICAC spokeswoman said the commission would not be commenting on operational matters.
