The 2025 Corruption Perceptions Survey is the first of a planned three-yearly survey. 

However, some of the 2025 survey items were asked in (or adapted from) previous surveys. You can explore the results of those previous surveys here:

Survey results and views of employees of Queensland’s public service departments on corruption and integrity

In May-June 2021, the CCC surveyed employees of Queensland’s 19 public service departments (including 16 Hospital and Health Services) about their perceptions of corruption and integrity. They were asked questions about:

  • the prevalence and perceptions of corruption in the public sector, their department, and their work unit
  • corruption risks and/or behaviours that they suspected or had witnessed
  • departmental attitudes towards reporting corruption, and
  • corruption prevention and education in their department.

Findings from a survey of local government employees

In May-June 2020, the CCC surveyed local government employees to assess perceptions of corruption and integrity in the local government sector and identify corruption risks impacting local government. 

The Crime and Corruption Commission (CCC) conducted a survey of local government employees to: 

  • assess perceptions of corruption and integrity in the local government sector,
  • identify corruption risks impacting local government,
  • pinpoint barriers to reporting corruption and suspected wrongdoing among local government employees and
  • inform opportunities to prevent, detect and deal with corrupt conduct in the local government sector in Queensland.

Findings from a survey of Queenslanders on their perceptions and experiences of corruption

In May-June 2018 Griffith University and Transparency International Australia conducted a special Global Corruption Barometer Survey (Australia), with additional funding from the CCC to enable more Queenslanders to be included.

The in-person telephone poll of 2,218 adults provides the first measure since 2012 of the growing impact of corruption on citizens’ trust and confidence in government.

This short report is a Queensland-specific snapshot of corruption perceptions and experiences, developed by the CCC based on the overall survey findings.

Some older survey results (2003-2011) are also available by exploring the Public Perceptions series.
