Public Interest Disclosure
The Public Interest Disclosure Act 2003 (PID Act) allows people to make disclosures about wrongdoing in public authorities, which includes the State public sector, local governments, government trading enterprises, public universities and some government boards and committees (public authorities), and protects them when they do. Follow this link for an overview of the PID Act and how it applies to people making a disclosure.
Reporting wrongdoing is serious and it often takes courage for people to come forward.
If you have seen, heard or know of something you believe is unlawful or improper and you’re thinking about making a public interest disclosure, we encourage you to read the information on this page and in Don't be afraid to speak up: Guide for disclosers, then seek advice from a public interest disclosure (PID) officer.
