Public Interest Disclosure

The Public Interest Disclosure Act 2018 (PID Act) creates a new scheme from 1 July 2019 that:

• encourages and facilitates the appropriate disclosure of public interest information to certain people or authorities
• provides protections for those who make appropriate public interest disclosures
• sets out processes for dealing with disclosures
• ensures disclosures cannot be ignored.

Further information about the PID Act can be found at:

• the Independent Commission Against Corruption website
• the Office for Public Integrity website, or
• the Office of the Commissioner for Public Sector Employment’s website.
