Perceptions of corruption and integrity in Queensland State Government departments

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.

The findings from this survey will inform the CCC’s ongoing corruption prevention work and will assist public service departments to develop anti-corruption strategies tailored to the needs of their employees.

Findings from the survey have been shared with each of the departments that participated.
