Report a concern about the CFMEU

29 Jul 2024
Body

As the independent regulator of registered organisations under the Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Act 2009, we are inviting further information from those with knowledge of any non-compliance with the law by Construction, Forestry and Maritime Employees Union (CFMEU) officials or representatives, as recently reported in the media.

We have created an online form for you to share this information with us. See Report a concern about the CFMEU.  We invite information relating to any Branch of the CFMEU.

We have also set up a dedicated phone line if you would prefer to provide information over the phone. To report a concern regarding the CFMEU, please call +61 3 9063 7633 (Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm).

We are working closely with other regulatory and enforcement agencies that are assessing concerns raised about the CFMEU that fall outside of our jurisdiction.

If you report a concern, we may share this information with other Commonwealth, state or territory bodies where it could assist their activities or help with enforcement of relevant laws. Your contact details will not be shared without your express consent.  You should report any emergencies, or immediate threats to the police.

You can ask to remain anonymous. However, the Commission and other regulatory or enforcement agencies may not be able to use the information provided. 

In providing information to us, you may or may not be considered a ‘protected discloser’ (whistleblower) under the Registered Organisations Act. Read our fact sheet for more information about protected disclosures and how they are investigated:
