The Public Sector Commission has a role under the Corruption, Crime and Misconduct Act 2003 to ensure that allegations of minor misconduct are dealt with appropriately.
The Commission can only receive and assess allegations about the conduct of WA government sector employees, known as public officers.
The Commission takes all allegations it receives seriously and we value the time and effort it takes to make a submission.
Disagreement or complaint? We may not be able to help you
The Commission is not a complaint handling body so we do not:
- advocate to achieve a personal outcome for you – once an allegation is raised with us, decisions and actions about how it is dealt with rests with the Commission
- consider the fairness and reasonableness of government decisions such as unfair treatment by a local council
- decide who is right or wrong or fix personal grievances between people.
Many of these issues are better directed to the authority your complaint relates to in the first instance.
How to lodge an allegation
- Anyone can report suspected minor misconduct with the Commission – find out more.
- All relevant principal officers must notify the Commission of suspected minor misconduct. This includes heads of public sector bodies, CEOs of councils and heads of government bodies – find out more.
