THE CORRUPTION AND CRIME COMMISSION

The Corruption and Crime Commission (CCC) strengthens the integrity of the WA public sector by deterring, detecting and preventing misconduct involving public officers and WA Police. We also make our community safer from organised crime by removing the financial incentive for criminal activity. The Commission achieves its purpose through monitoring, investigation, reporting and referral.

THE WORKING ENVIRONMENT

The Commission’s Operations Directorate is an exciting and high-impact environment. Our Operational Support team is made up of experienced professionals who apply specialist skills to tackle complex and systemic cases of serious misconduct, unexplained wealth, and criminal benefits.

We value collaboration, curiosity, diversity of thought and professional integrity. Our culture encourages staff to support one another and occasionally take on broader responsibilities to grow their experience and contribution.

THE OPPORTUNITIES

A special allowance of up to $10,000 may be offered to the right candidate for the Principal role based on unique skills and experience in digital forensics.

The Commission is committed to professional growth and work-life balance for all employees. We offer structured training, specialist courses, mentoring and leadership development, along with opportunities to engage with emerging technologies and industry partners. Our learning culture is collaborative and self-driven, equipping staff with the skills to succeed now and into the future.

We value diversity of thinking and welcome applications from women, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people with disability, and those from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.
