The compliance date for entities that were required to have policies was 1 January 2020. So, hopefully, anyone who needs one, now has their Corporations Act whistleblowers policy established and published.
However, if you’re still putting some finishing touches to your policy, or if you are deciding to have one but are wondering where to start, this link to WorkAccord’s Whistleblowing Bootcamp webinar, which has been provided free of charge, might be of assistance.

Before you knock off to blow the party whistles for the arrival of 2020… please do take a moment to check if you need to have a Corporations Act whistleblower policy in place, and if you (or your labour hire suppliers) need to have lodged an application for a Victorian labour hire licence within the extended grace period.
With that out of the way, may we wish you a happy and safe new year and a fabulous 2020!
As promised, here is the registration link to the free on-demand version of WorkAccord’s Whistleblower Policy “Bootcamp”. I hope you find it helpful.

Stocking up on coffee and snacks, and fine-tuning my playlists…
A big weekend coming up – designing the integration of professional conduct grievance intervention, control assurance certification, and whistleblower frameworks.
Also preparing a Tuesday TalkAbout on the topic: “Certification Schemes as Regulatory Alternatives: Pros & Cons” and a webinar Bootcamp for next Friday on the topic: “Whistleblower Policies (Strengthen Your Knowledge)”.
Enjoying the shift in focus as governance advocacy takes shape…
