Legislation reforms arriving 1 July 2018 significantly increases compliance obligations for corporate employers. For example:

• whistleblower protections will now be extended to former employees, contractors and company officers
• public companies and large private companies will need to have in place a Whistleblower Policy by January 2019
• disclosure that is eligible for protection can now be anonymous
• disclosing a whistleblower’s identity without their consent will now be an offence, and
• the current requirement that a disclosure is made in good faith will be removed.

McCullough Robertson and Grant Thornton Australia invite you to a breakfast seminar to learn what this means for corporate employers with key takeaways:

• understanding your increased compliance obligations
• determining whether a whistleblower’s disclosure is eligible for protection
• what you need to do to achieve compliance
• what a Whistleblower Policy needs to cover
• preparing your workforce for change, and
• how to respond to a whistleblower disclosure, from preliminary assessment to subsequent investigation.

Importantly, the seminar will demonstrate the impact of the law reform by reference to real-life case studies.

Please feel free to pass this invitation to relevant colleagues in your organisation.

We hope you can join us.
