IBAC may decide your complaint is a public interest disclosure (previously known as protected disclosure or 'whistleblower' complaints).
We receive disclosures from the public and assess whether they are a public interest complaint. If your disclosure is assessed as a public interest complaint, you will receive additional legal protections.
Additionally, we receive and assess potential disclosures as notified by other public sector agencies, as well as allegations of harm to an individual for making a public interest disclosure.
