Important note for Contractors – Amendment to Ombudsman Act 2001
Council wishes to make contractors aware of an amendment to the Ombudsman Act 2001 (Act). It came into effect 15 September 2024.
The amendment is to section 12A of the Act which now allows for the Ombudsman to directly investigate non-government entities performing public functions for and/or on behalf of Council (e.g. contractors). More information on the change can be found on the Queensland Ombudsman website, Quick guide – A change to our framework, and what it means for you.
While Council’s current terms and conditions already require contractors to comply with all relevant legal requirements (legislation, law etc), we wish to bring this change to the attention of our contractors to ensure their awareness. Please note that this is for information only and you are not required to make any changes to any current contractual arrangements.
For clarity, the Ombudsman will still initially contact Council should a complaint arise, which will be managed through Council’s Administrative Action Complaints Management Process (AACMP) however, if necessary, the Ombudsman may now also request information directly from the non-government entity (e.g. contractors).
If you have any questions in relation to this amendment to the Act, please contact Council’s Ethical Standards Branch via email to [email protected].

Some projects include a community engagement component. If this is the case, you must provide a complete community engagement plan with your tender.
