Whistleblowers play an important role in identifying and calling out misconduct. To encourage whistleblowers to come forward with their concerns and protect them when they do, the Corporations Act 2001 (“the Act”) gives certain people legal rights and protections as whistleblowers. In accordance with the Act, we have introduced a Whistleblower Policy and Procedure
We value the people who report potential misconduct or breaches of the law and take the concerns whistleblowers raise with us seriously. Most people with a connection to GCPHN who may observe or be affected by misconduct can access the legal rights and protections for whistleblowers. These protections also extend to spouses and relatives. (s 1317AAA).
