Director of Public Prosecutions for Western Australia 55 Saint Georges Terrace, Perth, Western Australia 6000

Welcome to the webpage of the Director of Public Prosecutions for Western Australia, conveniently located at 55 Saint Georges Terrace in Perth. As an establishment that falls under the categories of lawyer, local government office, and point of interest, we play a crucial role in the administration of justice within the state.

The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) is committed to providing an independent and effective criminal prosecution service that upholds principles of justice and fairness. We operate independently of the government when making decisions regarding criminal prosecutions, although the Director is accountable to the Attorney General for the office's functioning.

It is important to note that the ODPP does not engage in crime investigations, as that responsibility lies with investigating agencies such as the WA Police and the Corruption and Crime Commission. Additionally, it is worth mentioning that the Commonwealth ODPP handles the prosecution of offenses committed against Commonwealth criminal laws.

If you have the privilege of attending a meeting at the ODPP in the near future, we kindly request your cooperation in ensuring the health and safety of our visitors and staff. Your assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated.

As an institution, we recognize and acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land throughout Western Australia, as well as their enduring connection to the land, waters, and community. We pay our respects to all members of the Aboriginal communities and their rich cultures, as well as to the Elders, both past and present.

Thank you for visiting our webpage and for your interest in the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions for Western Australia. Should you have any further inquiries or require assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.
