The rule against penalisation arise in a wide variety of employment legislation in in addition to specific protection for whistle-blowers and persons raising safety concerns.
This places a prohibition on employers from engaging in retaliatory adverse action against an employee for invoking their rights or opposing unlawful acts or giving evidence or taking proceedings in employment law actions.

We also consider some of the changes made by the Protected Disclosures Amendment 2022 which is due to come into effect on 1 January 2023.
