Fraud
The Australian Government has a zero-tolerance policy relating to fraud. Applicants must read Section 3 of the Australia Awards Scholarships Policy Handbook and Australia Awards Pacific Scholarship Policy Handbook carefully. Giving false or misleading information is a serious offence under the Criminal Code Act 1995 of the Commonwealth of Australia. In the application and selection process for Australia Awards, it means:
- all information must be provided as requested on the application form
- information must be true, complete and accurate.
Applicants should note the following:
- incorrect data or inaccurate information in an application or in documents attached to an application may be considered fraud
- information required but not included in an application can be considered fraud. For example, not including previous qualifications in an application can be interpreted as trying to gain a benefit by withholding information
- all cases of suspected fraud are investigated. This can happen at application, selection, mobilisation or on-Award stages of the scholarships cycle.
Fraud detected at any stage can mean:
- exclusion from further consideration in the current application round
- exclusion from future application rounds
- withdrawal of an Award that has been offered.
