Public Interest Disclosure Act (PIDA)

The Public Interest Disclosure Act (PIDA) is a law that protects workers who report wrongdoing or unsafe practices at their workplace. It encourages employees to speak up about issues like corruption, health and safety risks, or illegal activities without fear of retaliation or losing their job. PIDA ensures that these disclosures are taken seriously and provides legal protections for whistleblowers, promoting transparency and accountability in organizations. Essentially, it supports individuals in responsibly exposing misconduct that could harm the public or the organization itself.
