Reports can be made to the Office for Public Integrity (OPI) if you think a South Australian public officer has broken the law, or acted in a way that is seriously inappropriate or negligent.
This includes the conduct of any state or local government agency or other government authority, the people who work with them and for them, which includes accredited professionals.
Complaints from members of the public
Members of the public can make a complaint to the Office for Public Integrity (OPI) anonymously if they wish.
Complaints can be made online or complaints and reports about misconduct or maladministration (but not corruption) can also be made to the South Australian Ombudsman by emailing ombudsman@ombudsman.sa.gov.au or phoning (08) 8226 8699.
Before you begin you should consider:
- Are you clear about who and what you are making a complaint or report about?
- Can you provide names and positions of people involved in the conduct?
- Can you provide names of people who may also have information about the conduct?
- Can you provide details about the conduct including when and where it happened and when you became aware of it?
- Do you have information about any documented evidence?
- Has this matter been reported elsewhere and do you know the outcome?
