How does the police discipline system fit together?
General information only, not legal advice. The rules are detailed, the deadlines are short, and your association or a lawyer should advise on your matter.
Every Australian force has the same basic shape. A complaint or concern is raised, by the public, a colleague or a supervisor. The force's internal professional standards unit assesses it, and either deals with it locally, investigates it, or refers it on. An independent oversight body watches the process and can take over serious matters, especially corruption.
- 1
Complaint or internal report
StartFrom a member of the public, a colleague, a supervisor or an audit. Many complaints are about service or minor conduct rather than misconduct.
- 2
Assessment and grading
TriageMatters are graded by seriousness. Tasmania, for example, grades complaints Level 1, 2 and 3; the AFP uses Categories 1 to 3 plus corruption issues.
- 3
Local resolution or investigation
InquiryMinor matters are often resolved by a supervisor through guidance or training. Serious ones are investigated by professional standards or the oversight body.
- 4
Decision and outcome
OutcomeFrom no further action, through counselling and training, to fines, demotion, transfer or dismissal, depending on the force's law.
- 5
Review or appeal
ReviewMost significant sanctions can be reviewed by a tribunal or board, within strict time limits.
The detail differs a lot between forces, so the rest of this guide sets out each one side by side, using the legislation and official pages.

Internal unit names are as given in legislation or official force pages. We couldn't confirm the current NSW and WA unit names from the force sites, which blocked our reader.
Oversight bodies differ in how much they investigate themselves. NSW's LECC reviews police complaint investigations, investigates serious misconduct itself and monitors critical incidents. In SA, the Office for Public Integrity has overseen police complaints since 4 September 2017 and can direct the Commissioner or the Internal Investigation Section, with corruption and very serious matters able to go to ICAC.
For the AFP, the National Anti-Corruption Commission has had jurisdiction since 1 July 2023, and the AFP's Professional Standards area must report serious or systemic corruption issues to it. The Commonwealth Ombudsman sets the AFP's conduct categories jointly with the Commissioner and can investigate how complaints are handled.
What happens between a complaint and an outcome?
What to expect at each stage, and what to do.
Most matters start with a notice telling you that a complaint or allegation has been made. Read it carefully: it should say what's alleged and which part of the code of conduct or law it relates to. Don't discuss the facts with colleagues who may be witnesses, and don't contact the complainant.
When you receive a notice
- ✓ Call your police association before you respond or attend an interview
- ✓ Write down your own account and timeline while it's fresh, for your adviser
- ✓ Keep copies of notices, emails and any directions you receive
- ✓ Note every deadline in the notice; review windows can be as short as 7 days
- ✓ Follow any lawful direction (such as a restriction on duties) while you get advice
Investigations can take weeks or many months. During that time you may be placed on restricted duties, moved, or in serious cases suspended. Suspension rules vary by force and aren't covered in detail here; your association can tell you what applies to your pay.
Minor matters often don't become discipline
Many forces now separate low-level conduct issues, dealt with by supervisors through guidance, training or mentoring, from formal discipline. Queensland's Act, for example, includes "professional development strategies" such as mentoring, closer supervision or training for up to six months, separately from disciplinary sanctions (s 7.3).
Which laws apply, and how can you challenge a decision?

| AFP | AFP Act 1979, Part V (conduct categories 1 to 3); termination s 28 | Depends on the action; termination can be followed by a s 40K serious misconduct declaration |
Review deadlines are short and often can't be extended. NSW gives 14 days to challenge a removal order and no extension.
Queensland's Part 7 came from the 2019 discipline reforms. It sets out the purposes of discipline as guiding, correcting and rehabilitating as well as disciplining, and requires the decision-maker to observe natural justice. It also requires a central disciplinary unit separate from the investigating unit (s 7.43).
What are your rights during an investigation?
The specifics are set by each force's law, so treat this as a starting point for questions to your association.
Across forces, three principles show up repeatedly in the legislation we read: you're entitled to know what's alleged, you're entitled to respond, and decision-makers must be fair. Victoria's Act says a discipline inquiry is not bound by the rules of evidence but is "bound by the rules of natural justice", and Queensland's says the decision-maker "must observe the rules of natural justice".
Representation at a hearing
- What we found in the law
- Victoria: you may appear or be represented by any person other than a legal practitioner (s 131). Other forces' rules vary; ask your association.
Natural justice
- What we found in the law
- Written into Victoria's s 131 and Queensland's s 7.32.
Time to respond to a loss-of-confidence notice
- What we found in the law
- WA: written notice of the grounds and 21 days to make submissions (s 33L).
Protection for directed answers
- What we found in the law
- NT and AFP: answers can't be used against you in criminal or civil court proceedings, with exceptions (see the next section).
Review of significant sanctions
- What we found in the law
- Available in every force through a tribunal, board or commission, with time limits.
| Right or protection | What we found in the law |
|---|---|
| Representation at a hearing | Victoria: you may appear or be represented by any person other than a legal practitioner (s 131). Other forces' rules vary; ask your association. |
| Natural justice | Written into Victoria's s 131 and Queensland's s 7.32. |

| Protection for directed answers | NT and AFP: answers can't be used against you in criminal or civil court proceedings, with exceptions (see the next section). |
| Review of significant sanctions | Available in every force through a tribunal, board or commission, with time limits. |
You also keep your ordinary rights if a matter becomes criminal. A criminal investigation runs under different rules from an internal one, and you should get legal advice before answering questions in that setting. Your association's legal scheme is the usual route to a lawyer.
Can you be directed to answer questions?
In an internal investigation, generally yes. Police are employees and officeholders, and most forces' laws let them direct you to answer questions, give information or produce documents. Refusing a lawful direction can itself be a disciplinary matter.
In return, some laws protect what you say. Under the NT Police Administration Act (s 79A), you can't refuse on the ground of self-incrimination, but your answer is not admissible as evidence against you in other proceedings under the Act or in civil or criminal court proceedings, with exceptions such as perjury and employment matters. The AFP Act (s 40VE) has a similar protection, with exceptions including termination proceedings.
NT
s 79A
directed answers not admissible against you in court (exceptions apply)
AFP
s 40VE

Tasmania
s 46(3)
Commissioner may direct you to answer questions
We couldn't open the current NSW legislation to confirm its equivalent section, and we haven't set out the rules for every force. Because the protections have exceptions, and employment proceedings are often among them, get advice before a directed interview even if you think you've done nothing wrong.
What outcomes are possible in each force?

A penalty unit is a dollar amount set by each state and indexed; check the current value with your state's government.
Financial outcomes can last a long time. A reduction in rank, a deferred increment or two years' ineligibility for promotion all affect your pay for years, and in defined benefit schemes they can flow into super. Our ranks and promotion guide shows the pay gap between each rank in every force.

Compare take-home pay at your current pay point and the one below it, so you and your adviser understand what's at stake before a hearing or review.
What is a 'loss of confidence' removal?
Some forces have a separate power to remove an officer when the Commissioner loses confidence in them. It's different from a disciplinary charge and the test is broader.
NSW: section 181D
The Commissioner can remove an officer after losing confidence in their suitability to continue, having regard to their competence, integrity, performance or conduct. The officer can apply to the Industrial Relations Commission under s 181E, on the ground that the removal was harsh, unreasonable or unjust. The application must be made within 14 days, with no extension.
WA: section 33L
The Commissioner must give written notice of the grounds, based on integrity, honesty, competence, performance or conduct, and allow 21 days for submissions. A removed officer gets 28 days' maintenance pay (s 33M) and can appeal to the WAIRC within 28 days, arguing removal was harsh, oppressive or unfair. The officer carries the burden of proof (s 33P).
AFP: termination and a serious misconduct declaration
The AFP terminates employment under s 28 of the AFP Act. Within 24 hours of that decision, the Commissioner can declare the conduct was serious misconduct under s 40K, covering corruption, serious abuse of power, serious dereliction of duty or other seriously reprehensible conduct.
Removal can affect your super
Losing your job can have super and insurance consequences, particularly in older defined benefit schemes. Ask your fund and your association what applies before you make any decision about resigning or contesting a removal.
What support does your association give?
Your police association is usually the first call. Most run legal assistance schemes, though the detail sits behind member logins. Based on what each publishes, as set out in our police associations guide:
TPAV (Victoria)
- Published discipline support
- Legal and Discipline Section: criminal and disciplinary investigations, Professional Standards Command matters, IBAC matters and PRS Board proceedings; a Legal Cost Fund
QPU (Queensland)
- Published discipline support
- Disciplinary, criminal and civil matters through partner law firms at no cost to members, once the union authorises it
AFPA (AFP)
- Published discipline support
- Professional standards matters, suspensions, natural justice responses, terminations and legal assistance funding
PANSW (NSW)
- Published discipline support
- A Legal Assistance scheme under its scheme rules
NTPA (NT)
- Published discipline support
- Discounted legal assistance through a partner law firm
WAPU, PASA, PAT
- Published discipline support
- Legal support is offered or referenced, but scope isn't detailed publicly
| Association | Published discipline support |
|---|---|
| TPAV (Victoria) | Legal and Discipline Section: criminal and disciplinary investigations, Professional Standards Command matters, IBAC matters and PRS Board proceedings; a Legal Cost Fund |
| QPU (Queensland) | Disciplinary, criminal and civil matters through partner law firms at no cost to members, once the union authorises it |
| AFPA (AFP) | Professional standards matters, suspensions, natural justice responses, terminations and legal assistance funding |
| PANSW (NSW) | A Legal Assistance scheme under its scheme rules |
| NTPA (NT) | Discounted legal assistance through a partner law firm |
| WAPU, PASA, PAT | Legal support is offered or referenced, but scope isn't detailed publicly |
Cover usually depends on the scheme's rules and on calling early. Some schemes need approval before a lawyer acts. If you're not a member, you can still get independent legal advice; employment lawyers who act for police are the specialists to look for.
How common are complaints against police?
Complaints are common and most don't end in a sanction. Officers who deal with the public every day will almost certainly be complained about at some point.

IBAC's figures for earlier years were 2,162 in 2022/23 and 1,965 in 2021/22. Tasmania Police also recorded 168 internally raised matters in 2025, and finalised 334 complaint cases. We couldn't find comparable published figures for every force.
How do you look after yourself during an investigation?
Being investigated is one of the most stressful experiences in a police career, and it can drag on. Officers often describe feeling isolated, especially if they're moved or restricted and can't talk about the matter with colleagues.
- ✓ Use your force's wellbeing service or EAP: they're confidential and separate from professional standards
- ✓ Lean on your association's welfare officers as well as its legal team
- ✓ Talk to your GP if you're not sleeping or your mood is dropping
- ✓ Keep routines going: exercise, sleep and time with people outside work

Frequently asked questions
Who investigates police misconduct in Australia?
Most complaints are investigated by the force's own professional standards unit, under the oversight of an independent body. That body is LECC in NSW, IBAC in Victoria, the Crime and Corruption Commission in Queensland, the Corruption and Crime Commission in WA, OPI in SA, the Integrity Commission in Tasmania, the NT Ombudsman and ICAC, and the NACC for the AFP. Oversight bodies can also investigate serious matters themselves.
Can a police officer be directed to answer questions in an internal investigation?
Generally, yes. In the NT and the AFP, the law says you can't refuse on the ground of self-incrimination, but your answers can't be used against you in criminal or civil proceedings, with listed exceptions such as employment or termination proceedings. Tasmania's Act lets the Commissioner direct an officer to answer questions. Get advice from your association before a directed interview.
What is a section 181D removal in NSW?
Section 181D of the Police Act 1990 lets the Commissioner remove an officer after losing confidence in their suitability to continue, having regard to their competence, integrity, performance or conduct. The officer can apply to the Industrial Relations Commission within 14 days, arguing the removal was harsh, unreasonable or unjust. There is no extension of time.
Can I appeal a police disciplinary decision?
Usually, but deadlines are short and strict. NSW reviewable action goes to the IRC within 21 days. Victoria's PRS Board reviews must be lodged within 14 days. WA appeals to the Board are within 14 days, and NT reviews within 7 days. Queensland decisions can be reviewed by QCAT. Speak to your association straight away.
Can police be fined for misconduct?
Yes, in most forces. Victoria allows fines up to 40 penalty units, Queensland up to 50 penalty units, Tasmania up to 20 penalty units, WA up to 3% of annual base pay and the NT up to $2,000. NSW reviewable action under section 173 excludes fines and dismissal, which are handled differently.
Do I get a lawyer if I'm investigated?
Your police association is usually the first call. Associations publish varying levels of legal support: TPAV's Legal and Discipline Section covers disciplinary investigations and IBAC matters, the QPU uses partner law firms at no cost once it authorises the matter, and AFPA lists professional standards support and legal funding. Cover depends on scheme rules, so call early.
Can I have a support person at a disciplinary inquiry?
It depends on the force and the stage. In Victoria, an officer at a disciplinary inquiry may appear or be represented by any person other than a lawyer. Other forces' rules on support persons and representatives vary, so ask your association what applies before any interview or hearing.
How many complaints are made about police?
In Victoria, IBAC received 1,942 complaints and notifications about Victoria Police in 2023/24 and found 406 warranted further action. Tasmania Police received 346 complaint cases in 2025, most of them at the lowest seriousness level. Most complaints don't lead to a sanction.
