Disclosure Officers
The Public Interest Disclosure Act 2012 specifies the certain people that can receive a disclosure of disclosable conduct (which may later be assessed as a public interest disclosure). These people are called Disclosure Officers, and they include:
- the Public Sector Standards Commissioner;
- the Head of Service;
- the Auditor-General;
- the Ombudsman;
- the Integrity Commissioner;
- the head of an ACT public service entity;
- the Clerk of the Legislative Assembly; and,
- a person nominated to be a disclosure officer.
Disclosure Officers must refer all reports which are about disclosable conduct, and disclosed in good faith, to the Commission as soon as practicable. The Commission's publications page includes a full list of Disclosure Officers.
Disclosure Officers are obliged to protect a reporter’s identity even if they have chosen to remain anonymous, except when referring the report to the Commission.
People who wish to make a public interest disclosure can also contact the Commission directly.
ACT Government Directorates are required to notify the Commission of any changes to their relevant Disclosure Officers as soon as practicable. Click here to update your agency's disclosure officer contact details.
