There are two types of public interest information:

• Public administration information – where there is potential corruption, misconduct or maladministration in public administration.
• Environmental and health information – where there is a substantial risk to the environment or to public health and safety.

Protections are provided for public officers who make an appropriate disclosure of public administration information and for all people who make an appropriate disclosure of environmental and health information, subject to some conditions outlined in the Public Interest Disclosure Act 2018.

If you wish to make a public interest disclosure that relates to the Department of Treasury and Finance or any of its employees, there are a number of ways you can do this:

1. You can contact the Office for Public Integrity (OPI) and speak to them.

2. You can contact the DTF responsible officer.

   The DTF responsible officer can provide you with advice and assistance. The DTF responsible officer is a relevant authority to receive disclosures of public administration information or environmental and health information regarding DTF and DTF public sector employees.
