The Crime and Misconduct Commission is an independent law enforcement commission set up to combat major crime in Queensland, including organised crime and paedophilia, and official misconduct in the Queensland public sector. It also offers a witness protection service.

It does this by:

• receiving and handling complaints about public sector misconduct
• investigating serious cases of public sector misconduct and corruption
• helping public sector agencies to deal with and prevent misconduct themselves
• conducting research into relevant areas, including policing methods
• gathering intelligence in support of investigations
• offering a witness protection service to anyone who is in need of it because of having helped the CMC or any other law enforcement agency in the discharge of its functions.
