Public Interest Disclosures

The Public Interest Disclosure Act 2012 (the Act) provides a legislative framework for managing serious matters of wrongdoing within Government. A disclosure or complaint to an official becomes a public interest disclosure when it is about conduct or activities that could:

Employees of the ACT Public Service and members of the community are encouraged to disclose conduct adverse to the public interest in the public sector. This includes reports of dishonesty, misuse or information or funds.

The Act provides rights and protection for people who report corrupt, illegal or improper conduct or substantial waste of public resources. It ensures that ACT government agencies deal with disclosures and act on substantiated disclosures.
