Receiving and Managing Whistleblower Reports (AU)

Duration: 67 minutes

Overview: This course provides essential training for individuals who may receive whistleblower disclosures in Australian organisations.

It explains the legal framework under the Corporations Act 2001 (Corporations Act), outlines disclosures which qualify for protection and who qualifies as an eligible recipient, obligations on specific public companies to establish and maintain a whistleblower policy, and guides learners through, how to recognise, respond to, escalate, and protect whistleblower disclosures appropriately.

The course also explores common mistakes and real-world case studies to reinforce practical application and compliance standards.

Why is this course important? Eligible recipients play a critical role in protecting whistleblowers and ensuring misconduct is reported and addressed lawfully. Mishandling a disclosure even unintentionally can expose individuals and organisations to serious legal, reputational and cultural consequences. This training helps ensure eligible recipients understand their obligations, act with confidence and contribute to a workplace culture where concerns can be raised safely, confidentially and without fear.

Suitable for: This course is designed for Australian managers, HR professionals, finance leaders, senior executives and others who may be designated as eligible recipients under their organisation’s whistleblower policy or the Corporations Act.
