NDIA Whistleblower Policy

Shirley made this Freedom of Information request to National Disability Insurance Agency

This request has been closed to new correspondence from the public body. Contact us if you think it ought be re-opened.

The request was refused by National Disability Insurance Agency.

Dear National Disability Insurance Agency,

Please provide a copy of the current NDIA Whistleblower policy and all prior versions. For clarity, that is all NDIA whistleblower policy/ies from 2013 until Jun 2021.

For context, The Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC) advises [1] that: "The Corporations Act 2001 (Corporations Act) provides a consolidated whistleblower protection regime for Australia’s corporate sector. The regime requires public companies, large proprietary companies and proprietary companies that are trustees of registrable superannuation entities to have a whistleblower policy and make the policy available to their officers and employees.""[2:4].

The Agency does not seem to have exemption under recent adjustments [3]

Yours faithfully,

Shirley
