SA premier to get ICAC briefing

New South Australian Premier Steven Marshall is to get a briefing from the state's corruption watchdog.

South Australia's corruption watchdog will brief the new government on issues of concern in public administration in a move prompted by the Oakden nursing home inquiry.

Independent Commissioner Against Corruption Bruce Lander says his office has a growing body of knowledge about integrity issues and it's important that information is passed on to senior officials and new ministers, including Premier Steven Marshall.

"As I said in my Oakden investigation report, I was astonished at the extent to which persons in senior positions were not aware of the systemic issues occurring at the facility," Mr Lander said on Tuesday.
