Raising a Concern - Whistleblowing Policy and Reporting
At Stable Home Care, we are committed to creating a safe, open and transparent culture where everyone feels supported to speak up about wrongdoing. We believe that protecting older people, staff, families and the community begins with accountability.
Under the Aged Care Act 2025, anyone who raises a concern in good faith about misconduct, risks to safety, or breaches of the law in aged care is protected as a whistleblower.
What is Whistleblowing?
A whistleblower disclosure is a report about serious concerns or misconduct relating to Stable Home Care’s provision of aged care services. This is different from general feedback or complaints.
Concerns that may be raised include:
- Unethical, dishonest or inappropriate conduct
- Fraud, theft or financial mismanagement
- Conflicts of interest or corruption
- Serious risks to participant or worker safety
- Criminal behaviour
- Systemic bullying, harassment or discrimination
- Organisational mismanagement or failures in care delivery
If you wish to provide general feedback or make a complaint about your care, please visit our Complaints and Feedback page instead.
Who can make a disclosure?
You can make a whistleblower disclosure if you are:
- A participant receiving our services
- A family member, supporter or substitute decision-maker
- A staff member, care worker or contractor
- A Responsible Person or associated provider
You do not need proof — only reasonable grounds to believe the concern is genuine.
