Confidential Whistleblower Contact Protection Officer Services

Jon Clarke acts as a Confidential Whistleblower Contact Protection Officer to receive disclosures to afford protection to eligible whistleblowers under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).

Australia's whistleblower protection laws under Part 9.4AAA of the Corporations Act impose rigorous obligations on public companies, large proprietary companies, and regulated financial entities. Organizations must provide safe, qualified, and genuinely confidential reporting channels.

If any director, officer, employee of a company or another person connected with a corporation believe they are in possession of information concerning misconduct or an improper state of affairs, Jon provides an independent, qualified external avenue.
