How to Make a Disclosure
Cameron Facilities provides multiple reporting channels to ensure accessibility and confidentiality:
Internal Reporting
Reports may be made directly to:
- Managing Director: Sherif Sulejman — sherif@cameronfacilities.com.au
- General Manager, Operations and Growth: Gordon Bryden — gordon@cameronfacilities.com.au
If the concern involves either of the above individuals, the reporter may contact an independent external channel.
Anonymous Reporting
Cameron Facilities accepts anonymous disclosures. Anonymous reports should be submitted in writing to the managing director or general manager, and they will be assessed based on the information provided. While anonymity is respected, we encourage reporters to identify themselves so that we can communicate outcomes and seek clarification where necessary.
External Reporting
Nothing in this Policy prevents an eligible whistleblower from making a protected disclosure to a regulatory body, including:
- Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC)
- Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA)
- The Australian Taxation Office (ATO)
- WorkSafe WA or NT WorkSafe (for safety matters)
- A legal practitioner (for the purpose of obtaining legal advice)
Protections for Whistleblowers
Cameron Facilities is committed to protecting individuals who make disclosures in good faith. The following protections apply:
Confidentiality
The identity of a whistleblower will not be disclosed without the individual’s consent, unless required by law. All reports and related information will be handled on a strict need-to-know basis.
Protection from Retaliation
No person who discloses in good faith will suffer any of the following as a result:
- Dismissal, demotion, or reduction in duties
- Disciplinary action, harassment, or intimidation
- Discrimination in any form
- Damage to professional reputation or working relationships
Any person found to have subjected a whistleblower to retaliation will face disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment or engagement.
Legal Protections
Where disclosures qualify as protected under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) or other applicable legislation, the whistleblower is entitled to immunity from civil and criminal liability in relation to the disclosure.
Investigation Process
Cameron Facilities will investigate all disclosures that are received in good faith and contain sufficient information to act upon. The investigation process will:
- Be conducted promptly, thoroughly, and impartially
- Maintain confidentiality throughout, with information shared only on a need-to-know basis
- Be led by the Managing Director or a nominated independent investigator where appropriate
- Aim to provide feedback to the discloser on outcomes, subject to confidentiality obligations
Where a disclosure relates to the Managing Director, the investigation will be escalated to an independent external party or legal adviser.
Timelines: We aim to acknowledge receipt of a disclosure within five (5) business days and provide an update on investigation progress within twenty (20) business days. Complex matters may take longer and the discloser will be kept informed.
False or Malicious Reports
This Policy is designed to facilitate genuine and good-faith disclosures. Reports that are found to be intentionally false, frivolous, or made with malicious intent will not be protected under this Policy, and the person making such a report may be subject to disciplinary action.
Awareness and Training
Cameron Facilities will ensure that:
- This Policy is accessible to all employees and contractors, including via the Cameron Facilities website (www.cameronfacilities.com.au)
- All new employees are made aware of this Policy during their induction
- Existing staff receive periodic reminders and training on their rights and responsibilities under this Policy
- Managers and supervisors understand their obligations to support and not impede disclosures
Policy Review
This policy will be reviewed annually by the managing director, or more frequently where there are significant changes to legislation, operations, or business structure. The Cameron Facilities website will always provide access to the current version of this Policy.
