The Corruption and Crime Commission’s jurisdiction covers the state public service (including the police and local government). One of the Commission’s main purposes is to improve the integrity and reduce the incidence of misconduct in the public sector. This is done by: Investigating allegations of serious misconduct Monitoring and reviewing misconduct investigations undertaken by other agencies Undertaking education programs for public officers and the public Tabling reports of investigations in the Parliament Undertaking reviews of misconduct handling procedures in individual agencies or groups of agencies Running education programs with state and local government agencies to build integrity and prevent misconduct. The Commission’s other main purpose is to facilitate the police use of so-called extraordinary powers to combat organised crime. The Crime and Misconduct Commission (CMC) is a specialist agency set up to enhance public sector integrity and to fight major crime. We work in partnership with public sector agencies, including local governments, the Queensland Police Service and other integrity agencies such as the Queensland Ombudsman, to reduce misconduct, including corruption and raise standards of integrity in Queensland. To this end we: Conduct investigations into serious misconduct Assist agencies to deal with complaints through monitoring how they deal with matters and providing advice Help agencies to prevent misconduct, by providing advice, reviewing systems and developing resources Undertake intelligence activities and conduct research The CMC has other functions. We also investigate organised crime, paedophilia and other serious crime; help recover the proceeds of crime; provide the witness protection service for the state of Queensland; and conduct research on crime, policing and public policy matters. The CMC’s continued existence is a reassurance to Queenslanders that in this state there is a vigilant independent body striving to ensure our public institutions are ethical and accountable, our police are honest and efficient, our children are safe, and our communities are as free as possible from corruption and organised crime. The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) was established in 1988 to promote the integrity and accountability of public administration in New South Wales. It achieves this by: Investigating, exposing and preventing corruption Educating public authorities, public officials and members of the public about corruption and its detrimental effects The ICAC has the authority to investigate any matter involving public sector corruption in NSW by: Targeting serious and systemic corruption Conducting public inquiries and producing investigation reports Establishing facts and referring matters to others to consider prosecution and disciplinary actions Recommending systemic changes to prevent corruption from occurring The ICAC works to minimise corruption risks by providing information, resources, phone advice and training to public sector organisations on a range of corruption-related topics. All resources are freely available through the ICAC website. The ICAC relies on the community and public sector employees to assist in its work. Anyone may provide information about suspected corrupt conduct involving or affecting the NSW public sector. www.ccc.wa.gov.au www.cmc.qld.gov.au www.icac.nsw.gov.au
