Our Quarterly Issue 8
Welcome from Chris McDermott
I am pleased to release our Centre’s first newsletter of 2022. I hope you had a restful holiday break and are now reenergised to continue the great work that you do.
For the remainder of the financial year, we will continue to work with this community to deliver a range of projects. Keep an eye out for advice on these projects and new product releases on our website, CounterFraud.gov.au, this quarterly newsletter, or one of our Communities of Practice.
If you are an Australian Government official and need support on fraud prevention or would like to know more about our initiatives, such as our Communities of Practice, please email us at info@counterfraud.gov.au.
