Role of the CCC
http://www.ccc.qld.gov.au/about-the-ccc
The Crime and Corruption Commission (CCC) is a statutory body set up to combat and reduce the incidence of major crime and corruption in the public sector in Queensland. Its functions and powers are set out in the Crime and Corruption Act 2001.
The CCC investigates both crime and corruption, has oversight of both the police and the public sector, and protects witnesses. It is the only integrity agency in Australia with this range of functions. In brief, the CCC:
investigates organised crime, paedophilia, terrorist activity and other serious crime referred to it for investigation
receives and investigates allegations of serious or systemic corrupt conduct
helps recover the proceeds of crime
provides the witness protection service for the state of Queensland
conducts research on crime, policing or other relevant matters.
