And

  • if there is reasonable suspicion that a criminal offence has been committed, including theft, fraud, or assault, or;

You must provide notification in writing to your assigned contract manager. Your contract manager will respond to you about next steps, and your organisation will be required to assist with an investigation of the matter if needed.

If the findings of your complaint investigation identify serious wrongdoing or misconduct as above, then you must notify DCJ.
