What We Do

  • At KC Investigations, we deliver independent, procedurally fair and legally compliant investigations for organisations across government, education, community services and the private sector.

    Our investigations are thorough, trauma-informed and grounded in Tasmanian legislative and regulatory requirements. We manage sensitive matters with care, clarity and disciplined judgment.

    Below is an overview of the investigation types we commonly undertake.

    Workplace Investigations

    We investigate a wide range of workplace issues, including:

    • Misconduct and policy breaches

    • Conflicts of interest

    • Fraud, theft or dishonest conduct

    • Bullying, harassment and sexual harassment

    • Psychological safety concerns

    • Grievances

    • Performance related investigations.

    Code of Conduct Investigations

    State Service Act 2000

    Investigating alleged breaches of the State Service Code of Conduct under Employment Direction 5, and into matters arising under Employment Direction 6.

    Reportable Conduct Investigations

    Child and Youth Safe Organisations Act 2023

    Investigating allegations involving children or young people, including conduct classified as “reportable” under the Act.

    Public Interest Disclosure (PID) Investigations

    Public Interest Disclosures Act 2002

    Investigating disclosures concerning improper conduct, maladministration, or systemic issues. Our approach protects the integrity of the process while safeguarding the rights of disclosers and respondents.

    Referred Integrity Commission Investigations

    Integrity Commission Act 2009

    Independent investigations into matters formally referred or overseen by the Integrity Commission.

    Independent Factual Investigations

    Where an objective assessment is required, we conduct independent fact-finding inquiries to establish what occurred and provide clear, defensible findings to support decision-making.

  • Workplace concerns often trigger complex reporting and regulatory obligations. Determining what must be reported — and how — can be difficult, particularly where legal, reputational, or operational risk is involved.

    We provide clear, practical guidance to ensure your organisation understands its obligations and meets them confidently.

    Why Engage KC Investigations

    Regulatory missteps can expose organisations to scrutiny, delay, and reputational harm. We bring:

    • Deep knowledge of Tasmanian integrity and regulatory frameworks

    • Experience managing sensitive notifications and oversight processes

    • Clear, measured advice tailored to your organisation

    Our role is to remove uncertainty, reduce risk, and ensure your compliance obligations are met accurately and professionally.

    Areas of Expertise

    We advise and assist in relation to:

    • Public Interest Disclosures, including assessment and investigation requirements

    • Integrity Commission Notifications and related processes

    • Reportable Conduct Scheme obligations

    • Working with Vulnerable People requirements

    • Professional registration bodies, including the Teachers Registration Board (TRB) and Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA)

    How We Support You

    We provide end-to-end regulatory guidance, including:

    • Assessing whether a matter triggers mandatory reporting obligations

    • Advising on timing, thresholds, and risk considerations

    • Managing follow-up correspondence and statutory updates

    • Supporting communication and engagement with oversight bodies

    Where required, we align reporting obligations with investigation processes to ensure consistency, procedural fairness, and defensible outcomes.

  • Not every matter requires an external investigation. In some cases, organisations need experienced oversight, guidance, or intervention to ensure a process is fair, defensible, and properly scoped.

    We provide targeted investigative advisory services designed to strengthen internal processes and reduce risk.

    Why Engage KC Investigations

    Internal investigations can expose organisations to legal and reputational risk if not managed carefully. We bring:

    • Independent, senior-level investigative judgment

    • Deep understanding of procedural fairness and regulatory scrutiny

    • Practical, measured advice tailored to your organisation

    Whether you require strategic oversight, technical guidance, or full intervention, our involvement ensures your process is fair, defensible, and capable of withstanding external review.

    How We Support Internal Investigations

    We assist organisations to:

    • Define and scope allegations clearly and appropriately

    • Establish fair and defensible investigation frameworks

    • Plan and structure interviews

    • Ensure procedural fairness obligations are met

    • Review and strengthen draft findings and reports

    Our guidance ensures internal investigations are structured, proportionate, and aligned with legal and regulatory expectations.

    For Complex or Stalled Matters

    Where a matter has become sensitive, high-risk, or procedurally uncertain, we can:

    • Conduct an independent review of the investigation to date

    • Identify gaps, risks, or fairness concerns

    • Recommend corrective steps or re-scoping

    • Step in to take over part or all of the investigation if required

    This allows organisations to stabilise difficult matters while protecting integrity and credibility.
