Guidelines for making and handling public interest disclosures
These guidelines have been prepared to facilitate the reporting of corruption and other misconduct by public bodies and public officers within the Victorian Public Sector (VPS).
The Public Interest Disclosures Scheme is a Victorian Public Sector ‘whistleblowing-system’ which operates to facilitate and provide a legal framework for reporting corruption.
A public interest disclosure is a report, complaint, or allegation about ‘improper conduct’ by a public body.
The Public Interest Disclosures Act 2012 prescribes the bodies to which you are able to make your public interest disclosure (PID).
There are protections in place for making a PID.
What happens after we receive your disclosure.
Public Interest Disclosures about the VI or VI officers must be made to the IOC of Parliament or to a Presiding Officer.
