Whistleblower policy
Spirit Super is committed to preventing losses caused by unethical, illegal and irresponsible acts.
We’ve adopted a Whistleblower policy that encourages, protects and supports the responsible reporting of incidents of fraud, corrupt conduct, questionable accounting or auditing matters and serious adverse behaviour from all potential sources of such information and particularly from sources internal to Spirit Super.
Spirit Super uses an independent company, Your Call which enables you to report any incidents securely, anonymously and confidentially.
Anyone (including a Spirit Super member, employer, employee or a third-party service provider) who has an honest belief based on reasonable grounds that an illegal or corrupt act or any other improper conduct may have occurred in relation to Spirit Super, may disclose that concern to Your Call. Your disclosure to Your Call will be treated with utmost confidentiality.

Whistleblower rights, protections and practical support
We’re committed to providing the required protections and support to eligible whistleblowers. To do so, the trustee has adopted a Whistleblower policy that encourages, protects and supports the responsible reporting of incidents of fraud, corrupt conduct, questionable accounting or auditing matters and serious adverse behaviour from all potential sources of such information and particularly from sources internal to Spirit Super. This policy outlines the types of disclosures that qualify for protection under the law as well as the processes the trustee has in place.
An eligible whistleblower has the right to an expectation of anonymity and to not fear reprisal after making a protected disclosure.
Details of the rights of eligible whistleblowers are explained throughout the Whistleblower policy; however, in addition to the minimum requirements, the trustee is committed to providing any eligible whistleblower and any implicated staff member (or their families) support during the course of, or following the verdict of, an investigation.
All staff (and their families) or any eligible whistleblower is able to access support through the trustee’s Employee Assistance Program (EAP). Use of the system is on a confidential basis. Our EAP is provided by Assure Programs. See their contact details below.
