Find out about public interest disclosures and how to make a public interest disclosure.
A public interest disclosure (PID) is a formal complaint anyone can make if they believe something is wrong with the way a public authority, public officer or public sector contractor is acting, or may be going to act, which is of public interest.This could involve:
Improper conduct
Administration matters
Irregular or unauthorised use of public resources
An offence under State Laws (including corruption)
Substantial mismanagement of public resources
Conduct that involves a substantial and specific risk of injury, prejudice to public safety or harm to the environment.
The Public Interest Disclosure Act 2003 (the Act) outlines what should be disclosed, who it must be disclosed to, and also provides for the protection of people who make a PID, as well as those who may be subject of a PID.A PID must always be related to a public sector, local government or public university function. It does not apply to information that someone has, or is, engaging in criminal behaviour unconnected to their employment.The City of Armadale recommends you review the guidelines below and seek advice before making a PID.
To make a PID please contact the City of Armadale or the Public Sector Commission through one of the methods below.Note, the Public Sector Commission provides information for people thinking of making a disclosure and to assist public authorities in complying with their obligations under the Act.
