Understanding the Dashboard
The Corruption Complaints Dashboard (CCD) provides access to information about corruption complaints received by the Crime and Corruption Commission (CCC). The dashboard supports transparency by enabling members of the public, public sector agencies, and other stakeholders to explore complaint trends and patterns across Queensland Police Service, public sector, and local government.
The dashboard reports on corruption complaints, not proven corruption. A complaint represents information received by the CCC that may relate to corrupt conduct or police misconduct. Complaints are assessed through a structured triage and assessment process and may be determined to be within or outside the CCC's jurisdiction.
It is important to understand that the complaints aggregated via the dashboard have not necessarily been assessed or investigated; for that reason, there is no outcome data provided. This means that no inferences or conclusions can be drawn from the data about the state of corruption in Queensland or the veracity of individual complaints.
Interpreting the Data
While a single complaint can involve multiple subjects and multiple allegations, the dashboard presents information at the complaint level. When complaints are analysed using subject or allegation attributes, totals across categories may exceed the total number of complaints, as the same complaint may be represented in more than one category.
The dashboard is updated quarterly and allows users to explore complaint trends by sector, complaint characteristics, assessment pathways, and other key attributes. Interactive filtering features provide additional insight into how complaints are distributed across Queensland's various sectors.
