Description
Every workplace has its challenges. But when serious wrongdoing occurs, such as fraud, corruption, safety breaches, or misuse of funds, employees need a safe and supported way to speak up.
This process is known as whistleblowing. In Australia, it's protected by law.
Whether someone works in government, business, or a not-for-profit, whistleblowers play a vital role in keeping organisations honest, safe, and legally compliant.
But speaking up can be intimidating. What if nothing is done? What if it affects your job?
By the end, you’ll be better equipped to do the right thing and know the system is there to support you.
