FAQs
-
An independent workplace investigation is a fair and objective process used to examine workplace complaints, allegations or concerns. External investigators bring neutrality, procedural fairness and specialist expertise, helping employers manage risk and make informed decisions based on evidence.
-
Employers often engage an external investigator when allegations involve senior leaders, serious misconduct, bullying, harassment, discrimination, conflicts of interest or situations where impartiality may be questioned. Independent workplace investigations can strengthen confidence in the process and outcomes.
-
Timeframes vary depending on the complexity of the matter, the number of people involved and the availability of evidence. Many investigations can be completed within several weeks, while more complex matters may take longer to ensure procedural fairness and a thorough assessment.
-
Following an investigation, employers should review the findings and decide on the appropriate next steps based on our recommendations. This may include disciplinary action, workplace mediation, training, policy updates, risk controls or broader improvements to the workplace culture.
-
Australian employers have obligations under Fair Work legislation, work health and safety laws, and anti-discrimination frameworks administered by agencies such as Safe Work regulators and the Australian Human Rights Commission. Seeking advice
early can help reduce risk, support compliance and ensure workplace concerns are managed appropriately.
-
Every employer should have compliant employment contracts, workplace policies, position descriptions, onboarding documentation and processes for managing performance, complaints and workplace conduct. Having the right foundations in place can significantly reduce workplace risk and improve compliance.
