Form of complaints
10 Form of complaints
Subject to subsection (2), a complaint may be made to the Inspector‑General orally or in writing.
A complaint is taken to have been made under this Act if all or part of the complaint is transferred to the Inspector‑General by an integrity body (see section 32AH of this Act).
See also Part IIIA which deals with relationships with other agencies and information sharing.
If a complaint is made orally to the Inspector‑General, the Inspector‑General must:
put the complaint in writing; or
require the complainant to put the complaint in writing and, if such a requirement is made and the complainant does not put the complaint in writing, the Inspector‑General may refuse to inquire into the complaint, or to inquire into the complaint further, until the complainant puts the complaint in writing.
