If you are a NSW public official, there is support available when you speak up and report serious wrongdoing in the NSW public sector.
Before or after you speak up, you can access support from the Ombudsman’s Whistleblower Support Team which:
You can remain anonymous when you contact the Whistleblower Support Team. Any identifying information you choose to give us will not be shared outside our Team. You can discuss your concerns about wrongdoing with us, without unintentionally making a PID.
The contact details for the Whistleblower Support Team are:
Email: whistleblowersupport@ombo.nsw.gov.au
Phone: 1800 716 766 (available 10am - 4pm Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays).
We are available for phone consultations by prior appointment. You can email us to make an appointment.
After you have reported serious wrongdoing, you should receive support from a dedicated contact officer nominated by the agency which is dealing with your report.
The contact officer can provide you with information about the agency’s processes, updates on how the agency is dealing with your report, and help if you have any concerns.
NSW public sector agencies typically offer their employees free and confidential counselling services. If you are thinking about reporting serious wrongdoing, or have already reported it, and you have concerns that are affecting your wellbeing, you may want to consider contacting your agency's Employee Assistance Program.
