IBAC’s Operation Dunham, one of IBAC’s most complex investigations, examined the conduct of officers of the former Department of Education and Training in connection with the failed Ultranet project and related matters. The Ultranet was intended to be an online teaching and learning system for Victorian Government schools. It was cancelled in 2014, with estimates of its eventual cost ranging from $127 million to $240 million.
The three people – a former Managing Director and CEO, a former Group General Manager Technology Solutions, and a former Department of Education and Training Deputy Secretary – have each been charged with five counts of obtaining property by deception. The former Department of Education and Training Deputy Secretary has also been charged with one count of misconduct in public office.
The three have been summoned to appear in the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on 3 July.
IBAC can make no further comment on the matter as it is now before the Court.
