The Corruption and Crime Commission investigated suspected manipulation of English language test scores at Curtin University and whether other public test centres were affected.
The Commission formed a serious misconduct opinion about a former administrative employee’s involvement in the score alteration scheme.
It identified weaknesses in security, auditing and management at Curtin, while finding no basis for misconduct opinions about other public officers.
It made no recommendations for further action against the former employee or other public officers.
In the body's own words
- Opinion
Consequently, in the opinion of the Commission, the conduct of Mr Low as outlined in this report constitutes serious misconduct under section 4(c) of the CCC Act.
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.

Notes on this record
- Report type assigned by OPAX from the title; the Commission tags every listing item Report.
Coverage
This publisher
- The Commission's website has no copyright or licence page; reports carry the Commission's copyright notice (fair dealing only), so OPAX keeps short verbatim extracts with citations and links the original PDFs.
- Only the reports listing (/publications/reports) is covered. Annual reports, quarterly reports filed under /quarterly-reports, media releases and news items are not report records.
- The listing date is the date the Commission's page was created; the record date is the report's cover date or the tabling date stated on the page where one is given, and the listing date only as a fallback.
- Opinions are extracted only where the Commission states them in a sentence on a single page; opinions in older reports framed differently, or split over a page break, are not extracted (findings not_extracted).
- No text layer, no OCR: scanned reports have no extracted opinions or recommendations.
