About the ODPP

Background
The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) is a Western Australian Public Sector government agency.   It conducts prosecutions independently of the Government and reports to Parliament through the Attorney General.  It is a critical participant in the administration of justice within Western Australia, providing a fair and just criminal prosecution service.

The ODPP’s core work is the prosecution of serious criminal offences in the Supreme and District Courts.  It also manages indictable matters in the Magistrates Court, and undertakes prosecutions in the Children’s Court.  It brings and conducts appeals, secures extraditions, manages proceedings under the Dangerous Sexual Offenders Act 2006 and brings forfeiture proceedings under the Criminal Property Confiscations Act 2000. 

OUR MISSION
To provide the people of Western Australia with a fair and just criminal prosecution service.

OUR VISION
To provide the highest quality prosecution service for the people of Western Australia.

OUR VALUES
The ODPP is committed to the following core values in order to achieve its vision:
  • Justice 
  • Integrity 
  • Excellence 
  • Independence 
  • Respect 
  • Leadership 
  • Accountability
The ODPP’s primary contact with individual members of the public arises if they are drawn into the criminal justice system as the victim of a crime or as a witness to a serious crime.  The ODPP’s contact with these members of the public as victims of crime or witnesses is generally only for the duration of the prosecution case, with contact predominantly occurring at the ODPP’s premises at International House and/or at court buildings in Perth or in major regional centres.  

It is a requirement of the Disability Services Act 1993 that public authorities develop and implement a Disability Access and Inclusion Plan (DAIP) that outlines the way in which the authority will ensure that people with disability have access to its facilities and services.

The ODPP is committed to ensuring that their services are accessible and inclusive for people of all ages and abilities.
