Corruption in focus

A guide to dealing with corrupt conduct in the Queensland public sector

This guide has been designed to be used throughout the public sector. With the exception of Chapter 4, which looks specifically at local government, it does not provide advice on legislation or rules that might be specific to a particular unit of public administration. It does, however, provide practical advice on:

• meeting your obligations under the CC Act
• conducting an investigation
• maintaining the integrity of the complaints process
• ensuring confidentiality and fairness during the process
• preventing corrupt conduct.

Note: Corruption in Focus: A guide to dealing with corrupt conduct in the Queensland public sector was updated on 29 August 2025 to reflect amendments to the Crime and Corruption Act 2001.
