Before an organisation mounts a response to a disclosure it’s important that an assessment of the complaint is undertaken to ensure the complaint falls under Reportable Conduct.

Detrimental conduct is defined under the Corporations Act as:

1. Dismissal of an employee;

2. Injury of an employee in his or her employment;

3. Alteration of an employee’s position or duties to his or her disadvantage;

4. Discrimination between an employee and other employees of the same employer;

5. Harassment or intimidation of a person;

6. Harm or injury to a person, including psychological harm;

7. Damage to a person’s property, reputation, business or financial position; or

8. Any other damage to a person.

All investigations undertaken by Stopline require preparation, planning, execution, review and conclusion. We have had considerable success in managing our investigations by following a structured phased approach.
