The Crime and Misconduct Act 2001 (Qld) places a statutory obligation on the University to refer all cases of suspected official misconduct to the Crime and Misconduct Commission.

Official misconduct is conduct relating to the performance of a staff member's duties that is:

dishonest or lacks impartiality
involves a breach of trust, or
is a misuse of officially obtained information.

To amount to official misconduct, the conduct must also be a criminal offence or serious enough to justify dismissal.

Official misconduct also includes conduct by anyone who seeks to corrupt a public officer.

Any reasonable suspicion that a University employee is involved in official misconduct should be reported immediately to the Registrar.
