In Queensland, you can’t make a complaint about a Judge or Magistrate.
However, you can report suspected corrupt conduct of any statutory officer or agency to the Crime and Corruption Commission (CCC).
You can make a complaint about a government employee by directly contacting the relevant department or making an online enquiry.
If you’re unhappy with the outcome of your complaint, you can contact the Queensland Ombudsman.
The Ombudsman won’t consider your complaint unless you’ve already tried resolving your complaint through the relevant department.
The Ombudsman independently reviews the actions of Queensland Government agencies, local government and some universities.
