Protected disclosures, seen only by those allowed to.
A confidential whistleblower scheme — an anonymous portal with reference numbers, access restricted to designated eligible recipients, reprisal protection, and an investigation-to-remediation workflow — aligned to the Public Interest Disclosure Act 2013, Corporations Act 2001 and Aged Care Act.
The Problem
A disclosure is only protected if the channel protects it.
A disclosure in the wrong inbox is a breach.
A protected disclosure that lands where the wrong person can read it breaks the confidentiality the scheme exists to protect. Once it has been seen, you can't un-see it — and the discloser is exposed.
Anonymity has to actually be anonymous.
A discloser needs to raise a concern without identifying themselves, and to follow up by reference number — not by replying from their own email, which carries their name straight back to the people they're reporting.
Reprisal is the real risk after the report.
The hard part isn't taking the report — it's protecting the discloser from detriment after they speak up, and being able to prove you did. Without a trail, good intentions count for nothing.
What You Get
Anonymous portal, restricted access, real follow-through.
CONFIDENTIAL POLICY & PORTAL
A channel built for confidentiality.
A published whistleblower protection policy sets out purpose, scope, protections and the channels available — and an anonymous online portal lets a discloser submit without an account and follow up by reference number. The scheme is documented and reachable, not buried in a handbook.
- Published protection policy — purpose, scope and protections
- Anonymous online disclosure portal with reference numbers
- Aligned to the Public Interest Disclosure Act and Corporations Act
ELIGIBLE-RECIPIENT ACCESS
Only the right people can open it.
Disclosure records are visible only to designated eligible recipients. Access is identity-restricted and every read is logged, so confidentiality is enforced by the system, not by trust. The people who shouldn't see a disclosure simply can't.
- Access limited to designated eligible recipients
- Identity-restricted records with logged access
- Confidentiality enforced by the platform, not by trust
INVESTIGATION & PROTECTION
From report to remediation, on the record.
Each disclosure moves through investigation, reprisal and detriment protection, and remediation to close-out — with the trail an auditor can follow. A serious concern doesn't vanish into a conversation; it becomes a documented process with an outcome.
- Structured investigation workflow per report
- Reprisal and detriment protection monitoring
- Remediation tracked through to close-out
Why It Works
A real scheme, not a feedback form.
Confidential by design
Access is restricted to eligible recipients and every read is logged, so a disclosure is protected by the platform rather than by who happens to have the inbox. Confidentiality is an enforced property, not a promise.
Statutory alignment
The scheme reflects the Public Interest Disclosure Act 2013, Corporations Act 2001 protections and aged-care obligations — not a generic feedback form retrofitted to look like a disclosure channel.
Part of governance
Disclosures, investigations and remediation sit in the same platform as incidents and governance, so a serious concern is connected to the response — not stranded in a side system no one looks at.
FAQs
Whistleblower, answered.
Does Statura include an anonymous whistleblower portal?
Yes. An anonymous online disclosure portal lets a discloser submit a concern without creating an account or identifying themselves, and follow up later by reference number. They never have to reply from their own email, so their identity isn't carried back to the people the disclosure concerns.
Who can see a disclosure?
Only designated eligible recipients. Disclosure records are identity-restricted, access is limited to the people configured to receive them, and every read is logged. Confidentiality is enforced by the platform rather than relying on the right person happening to have the inbox.
How are disclosers protected from reprisal?
Each disclosure carries reprisal and detriment protection through its lifecycle — the scheme tracks the protection alongside the investigation, so the obligation to shield the discloser from detriment after they speak up is on the record and able to be evidenced, not left to memory.
Is the scheme aligned to legislation?
Yes. The whistleblower scheme reflects the Public Interest Disclosure Act 2013, the whistleblower protections under the Corporations Act 2001, and aged-care obligations — including a published protection policy covering purpose, scope and protections, rather than a generic feedback form.
How does a disclosure get investigated and closed out?
A disclosure moves through a structured workflow — investigation, reprisal and detriment protection, and remediation — to close-out, with each step recorded. The result is a trail an auditor can follow, connecting the original concern to the response and the eventual outcome.
