← Whistleblower Policy

Make an anonymous disclosure

Use this form to raise a serious concern about Good Ancestors Policy Ltd — for example fraud, theft, corruption, illegal conduct, misuse of charity or grant funds, a danger to the public, or conduct that could cause harm to people.

You do not need an account and you do not need to give your name. You do not need proof: a reasonable suspicion is enough, and you are protected even if it turns out you were mistaken. Read the full Whistleblower Policy.

What we do and don't know about you

  • We do not record your IP address, your browser, or anything else about your connection. Your disclosure is emailed straight to whoever you choose and is not saved on this website or in any database.
  • There is no analytics, tracking, session recording or advertising code on this page or on the confirmation page.
  • There is no CAPTCHA, so nothing here fingerprints or profiles you.
  • We do not email a copy back to you, because your inbox may not be private.
  • Your disclosure is sent through an email provider, which keeps a copy in its own records. We ask for that copy to be deleted the moment your disclosure is sent, but the provider can take a few days to complete the deletion. After that, the only remaining copy is in the mailbox of the person you chose.
  • Being straight with you about the limit: our web host briefly records connection details for all traffic to our site, as every web host does, and that is outside our control. If you need certainty that a visit cannot be traced to you, use a device and network that are not connected to your workplace, or use one of the alternatives below.
Who should receive this?

Choose anyone you are comfortable seeing this. You never have to report to a person your concern is about, and you never have to justify leaving someone out. You can see what each person does on our org chart.

Pick more than one if you want more than one person to know — each gets their own copy and is told who else received it. Weigh that against confidentiality: every extra person is another mailbox holding what you wrote, which matters most if your disclosure contains detail that could point back to you. One is enough to be fully protected.

Share as much or as little as you are comfortable with. You do not need proof — a reasonable suspicion is enough. Dates, amounts, documents and who was involved all help, but write it however you like.

Spellcheck is turned off on this field, because some browsers send what you type to their own servers to check it.

Staying anonymous

Both fields below are optional. You can leave them empty and still be fully protected — an anonymous discloser has exactly the same rights as a named one. But if you leave no contact details we cannot acknowledge your disclosure, ask follow-up questions, or tell you what happened.

An anonymous or throwaway email address works, and keeps you anonymous. Please do not use your work email — we cannot see it, but your employer may be able to.

You can also go outside the organisation

You never have to raise a concern with us at all, and going directly to a regulator carries the full legal protections.

  • ASIC — the regulator for whistleblower disclosures about companies. How ASIC handles whistleblower reports
  • The ATO — for disclosures about tax affairs or misconduct relating to tax. ATO whistleblower information
  • Reporting to the ACNC does not attract the legal protections. The ACNC is our charity regulator and you are free to raise concerns with it, but it is not an eligible recipient under the whistleblower regime, so a report to the ACNC alone does not give you whistleblower protection. To be protected, go to ASIC, the ATO, or an eligible recipient inside the Company.
  • You can also speak to a legal practitioner for advice about whether the protections apply to you. That conversation is protected.
