Making a public interest disclosure to the ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´

The ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ has appointed authorised officers for handling public interest disclosures made or allocated to us.

If you would like to make a public interest disclosure you should contact an authorised officer by emailing your disclosure to pid@accc.gov.au.

Any hard copy public interest disclosures should be marked 'Confidential - Public Interest Disclosure'.

While you are not required to make a public interest disclosure in writing, there can be benefits in doing so. Setting things out in writing gives you the opportunity to carefully and clearly set out the particular issues you have, without the risk of anything relevant being missed or misunderstood.
