Public Interest Disclosure Act 2018 (the PID Act)
In 2018 the South Australian Government passed the Public Interest Disclosure Act 2018 (PID Act) as part of a package of new legislation and amendments arising from recommendations by the Independent Commissioner Against Corruption (Commissioner) after his review of the existing legislative framework in 2014.
The PID Act commenced 01 July 2019 and replaces the framework for the protection of appropriate disclosures about public interest information currently set out in the Whistleblowers Protection Act 1992 (Whistleblowers Act).
Section 12(1) of the PID Act requires principal officers to designate 1 or more officers or employees of the agency as responsible officers for the purposes of the Act. Principal officers must comply with this duty within 3 months after the commencement of the PID Act.
