Shaping the Future of Whistleblower Protection - 4th National Whistleblowing Symposium

Whistleblowers are essential to exposing wrongdoing, corruption, and harm across our institutions, workplaces and communities — but too often, the law fails to protect them for doing the right thing.

With a Senate inquiry underway into the Whistleblower Protection Authority Bill, and Treasury reviews into the Corporations Act and Tax Administration Act, this is a critical moment to demand stronger safeguards and lasting accountability.

Join Transparency International Australia, the Human Rights Law Centre, the Governance Institute, Griffith University and Whistleblower Justice Fund for a day of action - the National Whistleblowing Symposium on Wednesday 18 June, in Canberra.

Together, we’ll:

• Launch the Final Principles for a Whistleblower Protection Authority — a blueprint for reform developed through broad national consultation

• Hear from whistleblowers, integrity experts and oversight agencies

• Workshop practical tools to support impactful submissions

Current speakers include: 

• Mr Andrew Wilkie, Independent Federal member for Clark

• Deputy Commissioner Kylie Kilgour, National Anti-Corruption Commission 

• Rex Patrick, former Senator

If your work depends on truth-telling — whether it’s protecting people, places or democracy — whistleblower protections matter. This day is for you.
