Episode 57: Developing an internal whistleblower policy
20/03/2025 | 24 mins.
Members, officers and employees of registered organisations can report a concern about their registered organisation to the Fair Work Commission.

Episode 56: Compliance snapshot and setting up for a successful holiday season

Registered organisations can use our 2024 compliance snapshot to understand their own achievements and priorities and monitor their own performance against other organisations.
Episode 55: Common protected disclosure issues
30/10/2024 | 18 mins.
Whistleblowers have the right to disclose a concern without reprisal under the Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Act 2009 (the RO Act). However, not all disclosures are protected.

In this episode we talk about; matters that are commonly the subject of protected disclosures, what 'disclosable conduct' is and isn't, including specific examples and protections for whistleblowers and the relevant eligibility criteria.
