The Speak Up Integrity Hotline is an independent and externally managed hotline for you to speak up and report any actual or suspected issue, wrongdoing or illegal activity that may be occurring that has the potential to impact you, your colleagues, our customers or the organisation as a whole. 

The Speak Up Integrity Hotline is for all employees, contractors, suppliers (volunteers, players etc) to use to speak up and report any actual or suspected issue. It complements existing internal reporting channels and provides you with a safe, simple and secure way to speak up. 

No. The Speak Up Integrity Hotline has been implemented to complement, but not replace, our existing internal reporting mechanisms and using it is completely voluntary. We understand that every issue and concern is different, and as such we want to provide as many options as possible for our people to speak up if they feel something isn’t quite right. The Speak Up Integrity Hotline provides a number of additional reporting channels, including a secure online platform for our people to speak up both confidentially and anonymously. 

The Speak Up Integrity Hotline is independently managed by our integrity partners, Core Integrity. The team from Core Integrity are trained in dealing with complex and sensitive disclosure issues. It is recognised that, at times, people may not feel comfortable raising an issue in person or with those who they work with. The Speak Up Integrity Hotline provides you with a number of secure reporting channels and enables you to speak to a trained expert to raise an issue or concern early whilst having your confidentiality or identity (should you choose) protected.

Our Speak Up Integrity Hotline provides you with a number of channels to make a report such as secure online reporting form accessible via QR code and weblink, phone, email and traditional mail. You can choose the reporting channel that suits you best, based on the issue you wish to report. Regardless of what channel you use to make your report, all reports are treated in the strictest of confidence and are entered into our secure online reporting platform to provide. Our secure reporting platform provides you with the ability to engage in secure, two-way communications with those who are reviewing your report and provides so you can receive status updates and provide more information if required.  

After the friendly team at Core Integrity finish taking down all of the details of your report, and assisting you in gaining access to your report via the secure online platform, they will prepare a detailed Summary Report. Both your online report and the detailed Summary Report will be referred to the appropriate person within the organisation for review, and where appropriate, further action. You are encouraged to retain your Report ID and password and to monitor progress of your report. Should you wish to follow up on the status of your report, ask a question or provide further information, you are encouraged to do this via the secure online reporting platform. 

Sometimes people don’t feel comfortable speaking to their manager or to another internal department when reporting an issue or concern. The Speak Up Integrity Hotline provides an additional mechanism, external to the organisation, for people to speak up, to feel safe and to have their report and identity treated in confidence. If you don’t feel comfortable speaking up via your existing internal channels, then the Speak Up Integrity Hotline is for you. All reports are treated in the strictest confidence and can be kept anonymous if you want (see below for further detail).

Yes. Your Speak Up Integrity Hotline program uses the latest in secure, anonymous two-way communications so you don’t have to provide your name and other details if you don’t feel comfortable doing so.
