Likely covered by whistleblower protections

Based on your answers, you appear to be an eligible discloser under the Corporations Act 2001 (private-sector whistleblower regime). Your identity is protected by law, and detriment against you (dismissal, demotion, harassment, discrimination) is a criminal offence with civil penalties up to A$1.565M for individuals.

Recommended initial recipient

Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC)

You can also disclose internally to an officer, senior manager or auditor (still protected), or to a legal practitioner for advice (always protected). Public disclosures (media, MP) have much narrower protection — get advice first.

Next steps:
  1. Document the conduct in writing — dates, people, what happened. Keep this somewhere outside the employer's systems.
  2. Get free legal advice from Whistleblower Justice Fund or your state legal aid before disclosing.
  3. Submit the disclosure through the recipient's formal channel (ASIC has an online portal; APRA accepts via secure email; ATO has a dedicated whistleblower form).
  4. If you suffer detriment after disclosure, document it and contact a lawyer immediately. Detriment claims attract uncapped compensation.
