Report a concern about the CFMEU

Due to recent media reporting into allegations involving the Construction, Forestry and Maritime Employees Union (CFMEU), we are seeking information from any individual, worker, or employer about their concerns.

Use our anonymous report form if you have concerns relating to the CFMEU about:

  • inappropriate or coercive behaviour from union officials or delegates
  • bargaining processes of existing enterprise agreements
  • any other conduct that you believe may be of interest to us.

When you’re in the form:

  • select from the issues listed under ‘Industrial Issues’ (multiple boxes can be selected)
  • if the report relates to the CFMEU and not your employer, select ‘Other’ as the industry of the business and ‘Not applicable’ as the sub-industry
  • fill out the required trading name field as ‘CFMEU’ and the required address details as ‘other’ if no address applies. You will need to fill in a valid suburb to proceed in the form.

Please include:

  • details of your concerns
  • which branch (state or territory) of the CFMEU your concerns relate to
  • information about where and when the concerns took place
  • the title of your enterprise agreement (if applicable).

Please note that you can’t attach documents or photos when making a report.

For more information, visit Role of unions.

Report a job ad issue

If you’ve seen a job ad that advertises a pay rate or employee conditions that could breach the Fair Work Act, an award or enterprise agreement, you can use our anonymous form to let us know.

When you’re in the form, select ‘Job Ads’ under the heading ‘Other Issues’(multiple boxes can be selected).

Please include information about:

  • the job advertised
  • the pay rate and/or conditions being offered
  • when and where you saw the ad and a link to the ad if you have one.

Please note: you can’t attach documents or photos when making a report.

For more information, see Job ads.

What happens after you make a report

We’ll review your report, but we won't contact you. The information you give us will help us plan our current and future education and enforcement activities.

We may share the information you give us with other Commonwealth, state or territory bodies where it could help with their enforcement of relevant laws.
