Public interest disclosures

HealthShare NSW is committed to building a ‘speak up’ culture whereby public officials (persons employed in or by HealthShare NSW) are encouraged to report conduct that they reasonably believe involves wrongdoing. We are committed to responding appropriately to all reports of serious wrongdoing.

The NSW Health Public Interest Disclosures Policy Directive (PD2023_026) is the PID Policy for HealthShare NSW. The PID Policy sets out how we manage reports of serious wrongdoing, and the support and protection provided to staff when reports of serious wrongdoing are received.

Under the Public Interest Disclosures Act 2022 (NSW) (PID Act), serious wrongdoing includes:

• corrupt conduct
• serious maladministration
• a privacy contravention
• a serious and substantial waste of public money
• a government information contravention

Any staff member (including a contractor, sub-contractor, or volunteer) with knowledge of, or who has witnessed serious wrongdoing, should make a confidential report about the wrongdoing. A list of HealthShare NSW's Disclosures Officers is available from the NSW Health disclosure officers web page.
