In Australia whistleblower policy requirements are primarily governed by the Corporations Act 2001 and the Taxation Administration Act 1953. Since 01/01/20 specific entities have been legally required to maintain a compliant whistleblower policy. The requirement to have a formal whistleblower policy applies to:
- Public companies, including those limited by guarantee.
- Large proprietary companies.
- Proprietary companies that are trustees of registrable superannuation entities.
- Charities and not-for-profits structured as public companies limited by guarantee with annual consolidated revenue of $1 million or more.
