Queensland Education staff and contractors accused of fraud

Two Queensland public servants and two contractors who worked at the Department of Education have been charged with fraud.

Between them, the four are charged with defrauding the department $392, 996 and dishonestly attempting to gain $2.5 million.

The charges were laid as part of an investigation led by the department and the Crime and Corruption Commission, which began in March last year.

A 40-year-old Chapel Hill woman, who worked as a contractor with the department, was charged on Thursday with defrauding the $30,360 and attempting to dishonestly gain $2.5 million. She was expected to appear in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on August 2.
