Queensland Health has a program to protect internal witnesses who make disclosures about unlawful, negligent or improper public sector conduct or danger to public health or safety or the environment. This program has been developed in line with the provisions of the Whistleblowers Protection Act 1994 (Qld).
Queensland Health aims to promote a culture of transparency and a working environment in which staff can feel protected and supported in making disclosures in the public interest without fear of retribution. Employees can be assured that such disclosures will be addressed appropriately by the department.
Queensland Health's Internal Witness Support Unit, Assurance and Risk Advisory Services, is responsible for the receipt, assessment and subsequent management of potential Public Interest Disclosures made to Queensland Health.
