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.

Covert Powers

The CCC has oversight of controlled operations conducted by WA Police Force, the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (Fisheries Division) and the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission under the Criminal Investigation (Covert Powers) Act 2012 (the Covert Powers Act).

CCC Examinations

The Commission can conduct examinations to gather relevant evidence as part of an investigation into serious misconduct. An examination is not a trial and cannot determine the guilt or innocence of anyone against whom an allegation has been made.

As part of its investigations, the Commission may summons people to appear as witnesses to give evidence at either private or public examinations. Frequently, witnesses are not suspected of any wrongdoing and are there for no other reason than to assist the Commission’s inquiries.
