CPNQ April 2022 Lunch Box Session – Public Interest Disclosures
Another successful lunchtime session which included discussion about the new ISO37002:2021 International Standard – Whistleblowing Management Systems.
CPNQ Committee member David Lavell, Director Integrity and Investigations University of Queensland (UQ), chaired an excellent session on “All things PID (Whistleblowers)”.
Special thanks to Professor A J Brown, Professor of Public Policy & Law Griffith University and PhD candidate, and to Jane Olsen, Griffith University PhD candidate, who stood in for Louise Rosemann, Principal Advisor Public Interest Disclosures, Qld Ombudsman’s Office, at short notice.
Also, we are grateful to UQ for their ongoing sponsorship and the provision of their UQ City Campus where members were able to attend in person and enjoyed the networking opportunity this brings.
The session was a good opportunity for members and others to learn about the application and value of the new International Standard ISO 37002:2021 on Whistleblowing Management Systems.

Integrity in the Australian Public Service – Podcast Series
The Institute of Public Administration Australia (APS) brings you Integrity in the Australian Public Service Podcast Series.
Integrity can be defined in many ways. It’s about accountability, honesty, and doing the right thing. It’s a learnable skill demonstrated through words, deeds, and behaviours. It’s also core to building a high-performing, professional public service that delivers quality outcomes for all Australians.
The Australian Public Service Commission (APSC) and IPAA ACT have produced a four-part Integrity in the APS podcast series. It explores the meaning of integrity and the pro-integrity culture and framework that the APS has built to engender trust, professionalism and accountability across the service.
Podcasts one and four speak to building an integrity focused culture. Listen to the conversations: Episode 1 – Understanding Integrity or access the entire podcast series here: Integrity in the APS podcast
