Public Interest Disclosure Policy
The Personal Injury Commission (Commission) is an independent statutory tribunal within the NSW justice system that resolves disputes between people injured in motor accidents and workplaces in NSW, insurers and employers.
This policy provides guidance on how public officials may report serious wrongdoing and the action that the Commission may take in response, under the Public Interest Disclosures Act 2022 (PID Act). The Commission is an ‘agency’ under the PID Act and bound by this legislation.
The PID Act sets out the system under which people working within the NSW public service, including individuals who are engaged as volunteers, contractors, and subcontractors, can come forward and report serious wrongdoing in a way that minimises the risk of detrimental action.
The key objective of the PID Act is to encourage the disclosure, in the public interest, of corrupt conduct, maladministration of a serious nature, serious and substantial waste of public monies, government information contraventions and privacy contraventions by:
- improving established procedures for reporting disclosures
- protecting people from detrimental actions simply because they have reported a disclosure
- providing for disclosures to be properly investigated and dealt with.
The Commission encourages all our people (who are public officials under the PID Act) to disclose serious wrongdoing in or affecting the Commission or public sector generally where they become aware of it. We promote a culture in which Public Interest Disclosures (PIDs) are encouraged and protect public officials, witnesses and other persons from detriment or liability that might arise as a result of Public Interest Disclosures.
The Commission will take all disclosures seriously and will handle them in accordance with the PID Act and the Commission’s policies and procedures.
