Dear colleagues,

In order to turn around our clinical, financial and organisational performance, we must improve culture across Central Adelaide Local Health Network (CALHN).

In accordance with the SA Health Respectful Behaviour Policy, all staff have a responsibility to demonstrate, promote and model respectful behaviours within their workplaces.

I know that you haven’t always had the support to call out inappropriate behaviour however, moving forward, renewing our culture is everyone’s responsibility. It is my role to empower you to play an active role.

To that end, the Whistleblower Hotline enables all CALHN staff to report, in good faith, suspected misconduct or disrespectful behaviours via telephone, email, internet, fax or mail to an independent organisation.

Trained staff will receive your concerns confidentially (anonymously if you wish) and provide the information to a Disclosure Officer within CALHN.

The Whistleblower Hotline does not replace meaningful conversations with managers and HR representatives. Instead, it provides staff with another avenue to raise concerns in a safe environment.

Remember, it’s ok to speak up. I encourage you all to look to this service as a powerful tool in making your voice and concerns heard.
