"Whistleblower Policy

Our Whistleblower policy encourages employees, contractors, suppliers and customers to raise concerns of suspected unethical, illegal or fraudulent conduct. The policy provides protection for whistle-blowers so they feel safe to disclose any malpractice, misconduct."

pg. 14

"OPERATIONS

All employees who have reasonable grounds to suspect that a breach of a law or other standard of behaviour has occurred, are encouraged to report that suspicion to the Group Co-Ordinator. If this is considered inappropriate, he or she may raise the concern with a Protected Disclosure Officer, by phone or email, or in writing, via email or mail. Additionally, under the Corporations Act, an employee may also raise the matter with an “officer” or “senior manager” of the company. Based on the mechanisms provided, employees may choose to raise a grievance anonymously, however we encourage our employees to provide details for investigation purposes."

I have added Focal Point (for employees) because employees are encouraged to report suspicion to the Group Coordinator or senior manager of the company (see above and p.14)

I have added hotline, email or contact form for suppliers because:

Suppliers and contractors may also use the procedures and mechanisms outlined above, however, based on the Anti-Slavery Policy, suppliers will now be encouraged to submit grievances to a private email box. (p. 15)
