Matters that are not Reportable Conduct are not protected by the Corporations Act or the Taxation Administration Act 1953 (Cth) but may be protected under other legislation.
Reportable Conduct excludes “personal work-related grievances”, which is a grievance about any matter in relation to the person’s employment (or former employment) having (or tending to have) implications for that person personally, and the information about the grievance:
(a) does not have significant implications for flybuys or another related body corporate that do not relate to the Whistleblower; and
(b) does not concern conduct that involves an offence or contravention of law.
Examples of personal work-related grievances:
(a) an interpersonal conflict between the Whistleblower and another employee;
(b) a decision relating to the engagement, transfer or promotion of the Whistleblower;
(c) a decision relating to the terms and conditions of engagement of the Whistleblower; and
(d) a decision to suspend or terminate the engagement of the Whistleblower, or otherwise to discipline the Whistleblower.
However, there may be some cases when a personal work-related grievance still qualifies for protection under this Policy if it:
(a) includes information about Reportable Conduct, or forms part of a disclosure which also includes Reportable Conduct;
(b) the Whistleblower suffers from or is threatened with detriment for making a disclosure of Reportable Conduct;
(c) the Whistleblower seeks legal advice or legal representation about the operation of the whistleblower protections under the Corporations Act.
