Beyond Whistleblowing: One Platform for All Workplace Integrity & Legislative Reporting

How Make a Report Supports Modern Slavery, Respect@Work, Misconduct, and More

Workplace reporting isn’t just about whistleblowers anymore. Today’s organisations face increasing pressure to ensure employees, contractors, and third parties can report a broad range of concerns — from bullying and harassment, to psychosocial risks, to serious breaches like modern slavery or discrimination.

At Stopline, we recognised this shift. That’s why we developed Make a Report — a secure, compliant, and fully customisable platform designed to handle all types of integrity-related disclosures, not just whistleblower complaints.

One Centralised System for Diverse Reporting Obligations

Make a Report supports the requirements of key Australian laws and frameworks, making it easier for your organisation to meet both mandatory legal obligations and voluntary ethical standards. These include:

🔹 Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth)

Organisations subject to the Modern Slavery Act must report on risks in their operations and supply chains. Make a Report allows staff, suppliers, and other stakeholders to:

  • Report suspected modern slavery or exploitation

  • Raise concerns about unethical sourcing

  • Protect vulnerable individuals in Australia and abroad

These disclosures are managed confidentially with audit-ready documentation for your Modern Slavery Statement.

🔹 Respect@Work and Positive Duty Obligations

Following the Respect@Work Report and 2022 updates to the Sex Discrimination Act, employers must take proactive measures to prevent:

  • Sexual harassment

  • Sex-based harassment

  • Discrimination and victimisation

Make a Report offers a safe and private pathway for disclosures aligned with these new obligations, supporting your organisation’s positive duty compliance under law.

🔹 Psychosocial Hazards & WHS Duties

With the 2023 amendments to WHS legislation, employers must now manage psychosocial risks as part of their duty of care. Our platform enables reporting of:

  • Workplace bullying

  • Harassment or exclusion

  • Work-induced stress or psychological injury

  • Unsafe leadership or culture issues

It also supports early intervention, helping HR or HSE teams act before harm escalates.

🔹 General Misconduct, Fraud, and Ethical Concerns

Make a Report can be configured to capture a wide range of issues, including:

  • Misuse of company funds or resources

  • Conflicts of interest

  • Data breaches or IT misuse

  • Breaches of your Code of Conduct or organisational values

Our platform supports anonymous and named reports, secure evidence submission, and two-way encrypted communication — all designed to protect the reporter and the integrity of the process.

A Scalable Solution for Today’s Compliance Environment

Whether you’re governed by the Corporations Act, AS8001:2021, Workplace Gender Equality Act, WHS Act, or modern anti-slavery regulations, Make a Report empowers you to:

  • Centralise disclosures in one secure system

  • Streamline investigation workflows

  • Demonstrate compliance and due diligence
