All Western Australians can help in building integrity in the public sector.
The Corruption and Crime Commission works to minimise misconduct and improve the integrity of our public sector. We work in collaboration with other government agencies and also rely on the assistance of the general community.
The Commission:
- Informs and educates public sector agencies about effective ways to prevent and manage misconduct; and
- Assesses, investigates and deals with allegations of misconduct by public officers.
Your role
As a member of the community you can play an important role by notifying the Corruption and Crime Commission if you have experienced misconduct by a public officer.
Reporting misconduct
Interacting with officers from our public sector agencies on a daily basis means the general community is well-placed to inform the Commission about the conduct of those officers. Reports from the members of the community are an important source of information for the Corruption and Crime Commission.
Every report of misconduct received by the Commission is taken seriously and is formally assessed and, if warranted, investigated.

Education and prevention
In addition to working with public sector agencies to minimise and manage cases of misconduct, an important part of the Commission’s role is to work with them towards the prevention of misconduct.
To do this, the Commission:
- Evaluates agency misconduct management systems and cultures and provides advice about strengths and weaknesses;
- Conducts research into misconduct trends and issues;
- Hosts workshops, forums and seminars to provide the latest information; and
- Provides education and training opportunities
