The main role of the Corruption and Crime Commission is to assist public sector agencies to prevent, identify and deal with misconduct.
The organisational systems and cultures of public sector agencies strongly influence the behaviour of staff, both positively and negatively.
The CCC assists public sector agencies to prevent, identify and deal with misconduct by working with them to identify strengths and weaknesses in their systems and cultures as they relate to misconduct.
We do this by;
- Reviewing agency misconduct management systems and cultures and providing advice to them about strengths and weaknesses
- Receiving reports and notifications about misconduct
- Assisting agencies to deal with misconduct matters referred to them for action on a case-by-case basis
- Conducting research into misconduct trends and issues
- Conducting workshops, forums and seminars
- Providing education and training
There are five Corruption Prevention teams grouped according to like agencies. They are:
- Justice
- Education
- Health
- Local Government
- General
Each team is required to:
- Deal with reports of misconduct
- Provide advice to agencies about resolving the reports on a case-by-case basis
- Work collaboratively with agencies to identify misconduct related strengths and weaknesses in their systems and cultures
- Report agency progress in dealing with those strengths and weaknesses.
A sixth team is responsible for research and development with respect to misconduct management systems and cultures across the public sector in general.
