This policy sets out:

• how we will support and protect people who come forward with a report of serious wrongdoing 
• how we will deal with reports in alignment with our responsibilities under the PID Act 
• how to make a report, and to whom reports can be made • the protections which are available to reporters under the PID Act. 
• the names and contact details for the nominated disclosure officers in the staff agency 
• the roles and responsibilities of staff agency workers who hold particular roles under the PID Act 
• what information you will receive once you have made a voluntary PID
