Join our team

We offer a range of interesting and challenging roles including deputy and assistant directors and specialist positions - lawyers, investigators, intelligence analysts, investigation support personnel, assessment officers and corporate personnel.

Regardless of the role, working with us offers professional and personal growth in a challenging and meaningful way. We look to attract people who want to make a difference and be part of a contemporary, values-driven and supportive organisation.

Directorates

The Commission is comprised of four directorates and an Executive Office which work collaboratively to improve the integrity of the Western Australian public sector and to help public authorities minimise and manage serious misconduct.

Our history

The Commission was established in 2004 to improve the integrity of, and to reduce the incidence of misconduct in, the Western Australian public sector and to assist the WA Police Force to combat and reduce the incidence of organised crime. At that time the powers given under the Corruption and Crime Commission Act 2003 were the most extensive of any anti-corruption agency in Australia.

Your privacy

Will other people know that I made a report to the Corruption and Crime Commission?

All unexplained wealth reports received by the Commission are treated confidentially.

Details about the person making the report, and the information within a report, may be forwarded to an appropriate agency, such as the WA Police Force, the WA Director of Public Prosecutions, the Australian Federal Police, the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission, and the Australian Taxation Office.

What is unexplained wealth

The Corruption and Crime Commission works to identify and target persons who have accumulated unexplained wealth through unlawful means. Unexplained wealth law requires a person who lives beyond their apparent means to justify the legitimacy of their financial circumstances.

Unexplained wealth law seeks to deter crime, particularly organised crime, by reducing the profitability of illegal activities. The Corruption and Crime Commission has the power to investigate and initiate confiscation proceedings in relation to unexplained wealth to disrupt crime in Western Australia.
