How to notify and make allegations of serious wrongdoing and misconduct and how we deal with them

Information about how to notify us and make allegations of serious wrongdoing and misconduct about your staff, and other parties that may become engaged to provide services or exercise a function on behalf of DCJ, and how they will be managed.

There are two processes to report serious wrongdoing and misconduct

  1. Obligation - to comply with the terms and conditions of your contract with us you’re required to notify DCJ of a reported serious wrongdoing or misconduct about members of your organisation if you have reported it to another agency or regulatory body. For example, refer to Clause 8.2(c) of the Agreement for Funding of Services (HSA) Standard Terms and Clause 19 (c) and (d) of the HSA Schedule.

    For further information refer to Notifying us of serious wrongdoing or misconduct about members of your organisation.

  2. Under the Public Interest Disclosure Act 2022 (PID Act) you are required to make a disclosure of serious wrongdoing or misconduct and can do this directly to DCJ.

    Use this process if the disclosure hasn’t already been made to another agency or a regulatory body.  

    For further information refer to Making an allegation of serious wrongdoing or misconduct.
