Whistleblowers' Policy

The purpose of the Whistleblowers Protection Act 2001 is to encourage and facilitate the making of disclosures of improper conduct by public officers and public bodies. The Parliament of Victoria's Whistleblower Protection Act 2001 - Procedures for Making a Disclosure about a Member of Parliament establish a system for reporting disclosures of improper conduct or detrimental action by Members of Parliament.
