It is supported by an independent service provider and all disclosures are treated confidentially and can be made anonymously. For easy reference, we’ve created a short quick guide on the whistleblowing policy (PDF, 166KB), and further information regarding whistleblowing at Telstra is provided at www.telstra.ethicspoint.com.
