Commissioner's Service

The Commissioner's Service provides service in the following areas:

Anti-Corruption Branch

The primary role of this branch is to investigate corruption and allegations of corruption across the whole public sector. The branch also provides advice to government departments and agencies if it identifies practices within those areas that may be open to fraud, corruption or misconduct.

This branch works closely with SAPOL's Service Enhancement Branch to monitor and review internal performance. This action minimises the potential for corruption to occur within SAPOL.

The Minister for Justice has appointed an Independent Auditor which conducts an audit at least once every six months and reports back to the Minister.

The auditor examines every aspect of the work of the branch including operations, case management process and all other records.

This independent scrutiny safeguards the public interest and ensures the branch is resolute in the pursuit of its charter to investigate and eliminate corruption with the public sector.

Allegations of corruption against any government department should be reported to the Anti-Corruption Branch on (08) 8207 2200. Alternatively, a report can be filed through BankSA Crime Stoppers on 1 800 333 000.

Please be aware that all information received is treated as strictly confidential.
