These templates help registered organisations investigate allegations of misconduct. An organisation or branch should amend the templates as required to fit its procedures, resources and structure.
Encouraging people within registered organisations to speak up about their concerns is important. It's part of ensuring that organisations are run according to their rules and policies.
Having a whistleblower policy, which outlines the processes and protections in place when concerns are raised, will increase the likelihood that members and others will raise matters early. This will help organisations take appropriate action.
A registered organisation or branch should amend the template as required to fit with its resources and structure.
When considering a whistleblower policy, organisations should think about:
whether they'll be able to follow it effectively
how the organisation or branch will implement the policy
how officers, employees and members will be educated about it.
