Public Interest Disclosures Act 2012

The Public Interest Disclosures Act 2012 (Vic) (Act) encourages and facilitates the making of disclosures of improper conduct by public bodies or public sector employees and protects people who report improper conduct from detrimental action taken against a person in reprisal for having reported the alleged improper conduct. Public bodies include TCV and public officers include TCV employees.

TCV does not tolerate improper conduct by its employees, officers or directors, nor the taking of detrimental action in reprisal against those who come forward to disclose such conduct.

A disclosure of improper conduct by TCV or its employees should be made directly to the Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission (IBAC). Under the Act TCV is not able to receive public interest disclosures.

TCV has established procedures to:

• make TCV employees and other persons aware that they can make disclosures under the Act directly to IBAC
• keep a discloser's identity and the content of the disclosure confidential
• manage the welfare of disclosers including protecting them from detrimental action.

A copy of the procedures can be found here.

If you make a disclosure about improper conduct on the part of TCV or an employee or officer or director of TCV and want that disclosure to be protected under the Act, you need to make the disclosure directly to IBAC.
