Making Australian Whistleblowing Laws Work
Whistleblowers make Australia a better place. But right now the laws designed to protect and empower them are not working.
This report sets out a detailed proposal for how to fill the biggest missing link in our federal whistleblower protection systems – a dedicated, independent agency or office to enforce these vital protections, and make the systems work.
Making Australian Whistleblowing Laws Work: Draft Design Principles for a Whistleblower Protection Authority was developed drawing on international equivalents and following consultation with a wide range of experts, including former senior public servants, whistleblowing hotline providers, lawyers, companies and Transparency International Australia’s national whistleblowing advisory group.
