NSW Launches Whistleblower Support Pilots | Perth News
Description
New South Wales is leading Australia with groundbreaking whistleblower support, launching free mental health and legal aid for public servants brave enough to speak up. Managed through the NSW Ombudsman, these pilot programs—mental health services since last year and legal guidance from the Human Rights Law Centre since March—are designed to shield whistleblowers from stress and retaliation. Over 200 cases have been assisted since 2024, with early signs of growing uptake. Advocates see this as a vital step toward a more transparent, accountable government—and a safer space for those who dare to expose wrongdoing.
