It’s your call - report suspected fraud and corruption.
Everyone is entitled to work in an environment with a culture of honesty and integrity free from fraud and corruption. The Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ) is committed to prevent and minimise the incidence of fraud and corruption and you can assist by reporting any suspected instances that may come to your attention.
The DCJ Fraud and Corruption Prevention Control Policy (PDF, 288.1 KB) sets out the system of fraud and corruption prevention control and covers the responsibilities for managing fraud and corruption within DCJ.
If you need to make a complaint, please use the Feedback Assist widget on the department’s Contact us page.
The Public Interest Disclosure Policy and Procedure provides that a disclosure of serious wrongdoing should be reported to the following people:
The DCJ PID Co-ordinator can be contacted via email at pid@dcj.nsw.gov.au.
The Hotline has been established to receive suspected fraud or corruption reports via an external independent provider (Core Integrity). The Hotline supports anonymous reporting while still allowing the investigator to seek further information from the anonymous reporter via a secure web-based system i.e. the anonymous reporter cannot be identified which allows the reporter to participate and track a matter to its investigation and resolution.
Email to HFU@dcj.nsw.gov.au or write to the Housing Fraud Unit, Locked Bag 5000, PARRAMATTA NSW 2124.
Call 1800 330 940 or fax (02) 8741 2522

Corrupt conduct is defined by the ICAC as deliberate or intentional wrongdoing, not negligence or a mistake. It has to involve or affect a NSW public official or public sector organisation.
While it takes many forms, corrupt conduct occurs when:
DCJ considers it an obligation of its employees and third party providers that such conduct be promptly reported.
Advice and support is available from the Business Ethics and Compliance Unit (BECU) via the mailbox at fraudandcorruption@dcj.nsw.gov.au.
