The Crime and Corruption Commission assessed an audit referral about senior medical officers’ attendance and private patient billing in Queensland public hospitals.
The CCC accepted an independent assessment that there was insufficient evidence of official misconduct to justify its own investigation.
The CCC referred information about two practitioners to the relevant hospital services and took no further action concerning the others.
For unrecorded leave, the CCC asked hospital services to investigate and take remedial action, adopting the audit office’s recommendation.
In the body's own words
- Conclusion
While the material in some instances did expose conduct which justified the concerns raised by QAO, there was insufficient evidence of official misconduct such as to warrant investigation by the CCC, particularly given the absence of any other adverse conduct.
Findings and recommendations
Allegations are not findings. A commission's finding or opinion of corrupt conduct or misconduct is not a finding that a person is guilty of a criminal offence, and the commissions say so in their reports.
No findings or recommendations are reproduced in this record. This does not establish that the report contains none.
Published responses

This publisher
- Reports from 1991 to about 2011 are listed on the CCC site but many pages link no report document; those records carry the page summary only, with findings and recommendations not extracted.
- Scanned reports without a text layer are not OCR'd; their findings and recommendations are not extracted.
- Findings and opinions are not extracted except where a report states it makes no finding about any person (section 48B of the Crime and Corruption Act 2001). Pre-2025 reports state outcomes in narrative form, which is not converted into findings.
- Recommendations are extracted only from a complete numbered run; reports that number recommendations differently, or set them inside narrative chapters only, are marked not_extracted.
- Government responses are recorded where the CCC report or public hearing page links one; the responses themselves (often Queensland Parliament tabled papers or ministerial statements) are linked, not fetched.
- The 1989 Fitzgerald Inquiry report, which the CCC hosts, is a commission of inquiry report and is not included here.
