Episode 30: Whistleblower investigations: what you can expect

ROCpod was the monthly podcast of the Registered Organisations Commission, now abolished. The obligations for registered organisations remain unchanged. If you need further information please contact the new regulator - the Fair Work Commission - on 1300 341 665 or email regorgs@fwc.gov.au

The ROC has a complaints handling process to manage and fairly resolve protected disclosures, taking into account the information provided by the whistleblower, the registered organisation concerned and other sources. Listen to our first episode for 2022 to find out how eligible disclosures are managed behind-the-scenes, including real-world examples and best practice tips to inform an investigation.
