Whistleblower Protection Policy – Last updated January 2025.
OES is committed to upholding the highest standards of integrity, fairness and ethical conduct. This policy is underpinned by our value of integrity which guides our behaviour and applies to every aspect of our business
Employees and others working closely with OES will often be the best source of information when things are not quite right. This Whistleblower Protection Policy is an important element in detecting corrupt, illegal or other undesirable conduct at OES.
Creating a supportive environment where people feel safe to speak up underpins OES’s culture. When people do not speak up, this undermines the culture and exposes OES to risks. The Board and Executive encourage speaking up about concerns of wrongdoing at OES. There are various measures in place to ensure no one is discouraged from speaking up or disadvantaged or victimised for doing so.
The purpose of this Policy is to:
• explain how to speak up by reporting concerns about wrongdoing;
• outline what protections and support a person who reports wrongdoing will receive; and
• outline OES’s processes for dealing with reports of wrongdoing.
