RG 270 Whistleblower policies

Issued 13 November 2019

This guide is for entities that must have a whistleblower policy under the Corporations Act—public companies, large proprietary companies and proprietary companies that are trustees of registrable superannuation entities. It gives guidance to help these entities establish a whistleblower policy that complies with their legal obligations. It also contains our good practice guidance on implementing and maintaining a whistleblower policy.

This guide will also help entities that are not required to have a whistleblower policy but are required to manage whistleblowing in accordance with the Corporations Act.

Note:
From 27 July 2020, applications for relief should be submitted through the ASIC Regulatory Portal . For more information, see how you apply for relief .
