What is Fraud and Corruption?

The Commonwealth Fraud and Corruption Control Framework 2024, by the Attorney-General’s Department, defines Fraud and Corruption as:

Fraud is dishonestly obtaining (including attempting to obtain) a gain or benefit, or causing a loss or risk of loss, by deception or other means.

Corruption in relation to an entity is defined broadly consistently with the NACC Act and is any conduct that does or could compromise the integrity, accountability or probity of public administration. This includes:

• any conduct of any person (whether or not a staff member of a Commonwealth agency) that adversely affects, or that could adversely affect, either directly or indirectly:
• the honest or impartial exercise of any staff member’s powers as a staff member of a Commonwealth agency; or
• the honest or impartial performance of any public official’s functions or duties as a public official;
• any conduct of a staff member of a Commonwealth agency that constitutes or involves a breach of public trust;
• any conduct of a staff member of a Commonwealth agency that constitutes, involves or is engaged in for the purpose of abuse of the person’s office;
• any conduct of a staff member of a Commonwealth agency, or former staff member of a Commonwealth agency, that constitutes or involves the misuse of information, or documents acquired in the person’s capacity as a staff member of a Commonwealth agency.
