Whistleblower Policy

MultiLink Community Services Inc. is committed to the highest standards of ethical behaviour, integrity, and accountability. We encourage a strong “speak up” culture where people feel safe to report suspected wrongdoing.

This policy supports employees, contractors, volunteers, suppliers, and associated parties to confidentially report actual or suspected misconduct, illegal activity, or serious breaches of organisational policies without fear of intimidation, disadvantage, or retaliation.

Reportable conduct may include:

  • Fraud, theft, or dishonest conduct
  • Corruption, bribery, or misuse of funds
  • Illegal or unethical behaviour
  • Serious breaches of internal policies
  • Conduct that endangers health, safety, or the public
  • Behaviour that damages MultiLink’s reputation or governance

    Reports can be made confidentially or anonymously to designated senior staff or Management Committee members. MultiLink will:

    • Protect the identity of whistleblowers (where permitted by law)
    • Ensure fairness to all parties
    • Protect individuals from victimisation or reprisal
    • Provide support throughout any investigation
    • Assess and investigate reports appropriately and independently

      Personal work-related grievances (such as interpersonal disputes or standard HR matters) are managed under separate grievance processes. General service complaints and feedback are also managed separately under our Complaints Management Policy.

      If you wish to raise a service-related complaint or provide feedback, please refer to the Complaints Management Policy and scan the QR code available to submit complaints and feedback directly.

      We are committed to handling all disclosures seriously, confidentially, and in accordance with relevant legislation.

      To report suspected reportable conduct, including details of who you can contact and how to make a protected disclosure, please refer to the Whistleblower Policy here.
