The wife of former Queensland MP Scott Driscoll has been charged with more than a dozen fraud-related offences.

Emma Driscoll, 40, is also accused of perjury following a joint police and Crime and Misconduct Commission (CMC) investigation.

She is due to appear in court in mid-December.

Mr Driscoll resigned from his seat of Redcliffe earlier this month, in the wake of parliament's ethics committee recommending that he be expelled and fined $90,000.

The committee found Mr Driscoll guilty of contempt and deliberately misleading parliament about his financial interests.

A motion was to be introduced into parliament to declare Mr Driscoll's seat vacant, but the LNP-turned-independent resigned before that happened, citing health issues.

He wrote an open letter to state Premier Campbell Newman to reveal he is suffering from bipolar disorder.

Mr Driscoll was found guilty of misleading Parliament by falsely saying he had resigned as president of a retail lobby group at a meeting last year.

The committee found the meeting never took place.

The committee also says the former Government MP-turned-independent failed to declare income that he and his wife received both directly and indirectly from that lobby group and a local community organisation.

Mr Driscoll's business dealings are also being investigated by police and the CMC.

Mr Driscoll has previously denied any wrongdoing.
