Public Interest Disclosures

In some circumstances, a complaint may be considered as a public interest disclosure (previously known as a protected disclosure or ‘whistleblower’ complaint).

The Public Interest Disclosures Act 2012 (the Act) enables anyone to make a disclosure about improper conduct within the public sector without fear of reprisal and aims to ensure openness and accountability by encouraging people to make disclosures and protecting them when they do. Council can receive disclosures from a staff member or a member of the community. Or disclosures can be made directly to the Independent broad-based anti-corruption commission (IBAC). If a disclosure is about a Councillor it must be made directly to IBAC.
