Public interest disclosures (formerly Protected Disclosures)

A public interest disclosure is a disclosure by a natural person of information that shows or tends to show (information that the person reasonably believes shows or tends to show) improper conduct or detrimental action, as defined in the Public Interest Disclosures Act 2012 (the Act).

Under the Act, the VRQA is not able to receive a public interest disclosure.

If you wish to make a public interest disclosure about improper conduct or detrimental action on the part of the VRQA, or a VRQA employee or officer, you can make the disclosure to a number of 'receiving entities' including the Victorian Ombudsman, Victoria Police or the Independent Broad-based Anti-Corruption Commission (IBAC).
