The Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions is an independent office of the Australian Government responsible for prosecuting serious crimes under Commonwealth law. It provides legal advice to investigative agencies, reviews and decides on whether to initiate prosecutions, and conducts court proceedings in cases involving offences such as fraud, money laundering, organised crime, human trafficking, and cybercrime.
Beyond prosecutions, the CDPP also maintains public transparency through the publication of statistics, case reports, and policies. It supports victims and witnesses through dedicated services and ensures its work aligns with legal and regulatory frameworks. The agency aims to contribute to public trust, fairness, and integrity in the criminal justice system.
