The Crime and Corruption Commission (CCC) has released new corruption data and insights resources.
The resources include a new Corruption Complaints Dashboard (CCD), which will allow users to explore complaints of alleged corruption reported to the CCC about the Queensland Police Service (QPS), local governments and the broader public sector.
The CCD includes data for the period 1 July 2023 to 30 September 2026, and will be updated quarterly. Data from 1 July 2015 to 30 June 2023 will continue to be available through the Corruption Allegations Data Dashboard (CADD).
In addition, the CCC has published sector insights pages. These resources complement the dashboards by providing information on corruption trends, risks and prevention opportunities relevant to the Queensland Police Service, local government, and the broader public sector.
These new resources have been developed to help the Queensland community and people working in and with these sectors to better understand corruption and identify opportunities to prevent it.
The CCC receives complaints about corrupt conduct from members of the public and public sector agencies. When aggregated, complaint data provides useful and transparent information about corruption in Queensland.
While the CCD, CADD and sector insights pages can be used together to provide a range of perspectives on the risks for a given sector or agency, each uses a different methodology. As a result, the data should not be directly combined or compared. Doing so may produce misleading interpretations. The CCD and CADD are based on complaint and allegation data respectively, not proven corruption or outcomes. They should not be used to draw conclusions about the level of corruption in any sector or agency. A high number of complaints is not necessarily a sign of corruption and can reflect a positive reporting culture. A low number of complaints is not necessarily a sign that no corruption exists and could indicate underreporting.
The CCC is an independent agency combating major crime and reducing corruption for the benefit of the Queensland community.
