The Public Interest Disclosure Act came into effect on 1 July 2003. The Act facilitates the disclosure of public interest information by providing protection for those who make disclosures and those who are the subject of disclosures.
The Nurses and Midwives Board of Western Australia is committed to the aims and objectives of the Public Interest Disclosure Act 2003. It recognises the value and importance of contributions of staff to enhance administrative and management practices and strongly supports disclosures being made by staff regarding corrupt or other improper conduct.
The Act deals with disclosures by anyone (not just employees) but the information must be specific to the following areas:
If your information falls outside the above areas then you may still be able to make a complaint, but this will not be a public interest disclosure under the Act.
