Deliver stronger investigation outcomes with Comtrac

Feb 25, 2025

We are excited to work alongside some of the world’s top regulatory and law enforcement organisations, including the Australasian Environmental Law Enforcement and Regulators neTwork (AELERT). Over the years, we’ve built a great partnership with AELERT, collaborating through Comtrac and our sister organisation, Investigation Compliance & Enforcement Training Systems (ICETS).

We’d love to connect with AELERT member agencies and wider community to explore innovative ways to enhance investigation workflows and support you to deliver stronger outcomesfor your agency.

About Comtrac

We know that inefficient investigation management can affect case outcomes and prosecutions. Delays and prolonged investigations can also harm the trust people have in your agency.

Now, imagine a single investigator being able to handle the workload of an entire team. It’s possible to prove key offence elements faster, close cases on time, and ultimately increase your agency’s capacity and the public’s trust.

Comtrac helps regulatory agencies streamline investigations and protect vital resources and the environment by providing powerful tools to:

  • Boost efficiency and cut investigation times by 35%
  • Prevent harm through proactive enforcement and assessing risks.
  • Automate investigation reports to enhance enforcement and prosecution

With over 15 years in public service across the Commonwealth, Victorian, and Tasmanian governments, I’ve had the opportunity to focus on biosecurity and animal welfare. In Tasmania, I contributed to improving investigation efficiency by 30% and helped shape legislative frameworks, which supported more consistent outcomes. 

You’ll likely see me at the upcoming Aotearoa New Zealand and Western Australia AELERT Regulators Gatherings plus other events in 2025, so please feel free to reach out to me directly or the expert team at Comtrac to connect and explore ways to enhance your investigation workflows.
