Introduction
In this episode we discuss how eligible disclosures are managed behind-the-scenes, including real-world examples and best practice tips to inform an investigation.
Content
We have a complaints-handling process to manage and fairly resolve protected disclosures, taking into account the information provided by the whistleblower, the registered organisation concerned and other sources.
ROCpod was a monthly podcast created by the Registered Organisations Commission, which is now abolished. The obligations for registered organisations remain unchanged, with the functions transferred to the Fair Work Commission as the regulator from 6 March 2023.
