Yarram and District Health Service recognises the value of transparency and accountability in its administrative and management practices and supports the making of disclosures that reveal corrupt conduct, conduct involving a substantial mismanagement of public resources, or conduct involving a substantial risk to public health and safety or the environment. Yarram and District Health Service will take all reasonable steps to protect people who make such disclosures from any detrimental action in reprisal for making the disclosure. It will also afford natural justice to the person who is the subject of the disclosure. In line with this, the Yarram and District Health Service has in place a corporate policy and procedure which comply with the Act. Since the introduction of the policy the Yarram and District Health Service has received nil disclosures and has no knowledge of any disclosures which may/may not have been reported to the Ombudsman. ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Management Services to Crossley House.
