Public Interest Disclosure

Public interest disclosure

Development Victoria is committed to upholding the aims and objectives of the Public Interest Disclosure Act 2012. It does not tolerate improper or corrupt conduct by its employees or officers, nor the taking of reprisals against those who come forward to disclose such conduct.

Development Victoria recognises the value of transparency and accountability in its administrative practices and supports the making of disclosures that reveal improper or corrupt conduct or reveal taking of reprisals against those who come forward to disclose such conduct.

Development Victoria will take all reasonable steps to protect people who make such disclosures from any detrimental action undertaken in reprisal for making the disclosure. It will also afford natural justice to the person who is the subject of the disclosure.

For further information, please see our policy and procedure information at the bottom of this page.

How do I report an allegation?

If you wish to make a public interest disclosure about Development Victoria, or one of our employees or officers, you must make that disclosure directly to the Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission (IBAC), the Victorian Ombudsman or the Victorian Inspectorate in accordance with their respective Procedures and Guidelines.

Development Victoria is not authorised to receive public interest disclosures. If you make a disclosure to Development Victoria, it will not be a disclosure made in accordance with Part 2 of the Public Interest Disclosure Act and will not contain the relevant protections.
