What Is Fraud or White Collar Crime in Australia?
Fraud and white collar offences involve dishonest conduct for financial or personal gain. They often relate to false documents, misuse of funds, deceptive business practices or unlawful access to money or assets.
These offences can arise in personal, corporate or public sector contexts. Common examples include Centrelink fraud, credit card fraud, false accounting, identity theft, misuse of company resources and dishonestly obtaining a financial benefit. Even minor dishonesty or paperwork issues can lead to criminal charges if the alleged intent was deceptive.
In Australia, prison sentences for fraud are some of the longest of any category of criminal offending.
