The Office of the IGEM Public Interest Disclosure (PID) Procedure has been developed to comply with Section 28 of the Public Interest Disclosure Act 2010 (PID Act), which requires public sector entities to establish reasonable procedures to ensure that a management program for public interest disclosures made to the entity is developed and maintained consistent with any Standard made under section 60 of the PID Act. The Plan should be read in conjunction with the PSBA PID Procedure.
The Plan applies to all employees within PSBA (including sworn Queensland Police Service [QPS] officers seconded to, or on a work performance arrangement in PSBA), Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES), and the Office of Inspector General Emergency Management (IGEM), however does not apply to the QPS. Both employees and members of the public may make public interest disclosures under the PID Act.
Both documents can be accessed on the PSBA website.
