Criminal Investigations Officers exercise a degree of independent judgement and make ethical decisions within defined parameters, including submitting specific tasks for approval and quality review.

They undertake their work in the context of competing priorities and contribute to changes in workplace practices and business improvement strategies.

Criminal Investigations Officers liaise with stakeholders and represent the agency with credibility and professionalism.

Administrative Investigator

The Administrative Investigator role applies a more technically complex lens of Social Security law (right payment, right person) and applies remediation to customer records, including recovery of public money.
