The Corruption and Crime Commission reviewed the Department of Transport's response to four recommendations about unauthorised access to its TRELIS database.
The earlier recommendations covered access policies, investigation processes, activity alerts and agreements governing external users.
The Commission concluded that the department had improved its ability to prevent serious misconduct and had adequately addressed all four recommendations.
In the body's own words
- Conclusion
The Commission considers DoT has taken appropriate steps to address the recommendations.
- Conclusion
The Commission considers all recommendations closed.
Findings, opinions and statements
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 are reproduced in this record. This does not establish that the report contains none.
Recommendations 4
Recommendation ONE
Implement TRELIS policy and procedures that: a. acknowledge the criminality of unauthorised access; b. define the processes for recording conflicts of interest; c. stop the use of own or known user records in training or testing.
Recommendation TWO
Implement consistent triage and investigation processes for any suspected unlawful access of TRELIS for all user groups, including federal government agencies. Where appropriate, this should include consideration of the suspension or cancellation of TRELIS.
Recommendation THREE
Review current TRELIS activity alerts to ensure they are contemporary, focused, and effective.
Recommendation FOUR
Review current authorisations for TRELIS access and ensure memorandums of understanding (MOUs) are in place for all external users. The MOUs should define who the employing authority is and therefore, responsible for taking any disciplinary action and facilitating appropriate sanctions against users and the relevant agency.

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.
