Whistleblowers — raising concerns about the private sector
Whistleblower protection for persons disclosing concerns of misconduct or of an “improper state of affairs or circumstances” concerning private sector entities is set out in the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and the Taxation Administration Act 1953 (Cth).
Protection for whistleblowers may also be available under other legislation, such as discrimination, consumer and work health and safety legislation.
Where the concern relates to matters of public interest (eg, a private sector entity providing a public service) there may be some cross-over with legislation dealing with disclosures about the public sector.
