Reporting fraud

Fraud against and within ORER

Fraud reduces the effectiveness of the Government's policies and programs which assist Australian industry, and it is the responsibility of the Office of the Renewable Energy Regulator (ORER) and its stakeholders to prevent program benefits and privileges from being misused.

Reporting fraud

Fraud against the Commonwealth is defined as:

'Dishonestly obtaining a benefit by deception or other means.'

The definition includes both tangible and intangible benefits.

ORER is determined to ensure that when fraud occurs, it is rapidly detected, effectively instigated, prosecuted appropriately and the proceeds of the fraud recovered.
