Anti-Bribery and Corruption, Psychosocial Safety, and Whistleblowing
Misconduct risk, psychosocial harm and whistleblowing concerns rarely sit neatly within a single function. What begins as a corruption concern may become a whistleblower disclosure. A workplace complaint may involve psychological harm, retaliation concerns, governance failures or broader cultural issues.
As regulatory expectations increase and organisational accountability grows, legal, compliance, HR, risk and governance professionals need practical strategies that help them respond confidently when these issues intersect.
Join us in Perth for a highly practical morning forum exploring three critical and increasingly connected risk areas:
- Anti-Bribery and Corruption
- Trauma-Informed Psychosocial Safety
- Whistleblowing and Speak-Up Frameworks
Designed for leaders and practitioners across mining, energy, defence, government and other highly regulated industries, this interactive session will provide practical insights, real-world scenarios and actionable approaches you can take back to your organisation.

What You’ll Learn
Anti-Bribery and Corruption
Explore how corruption risks arise in everyday business activities and the implications of Australia’s evolving anti-bribery landscape, including increased focus on “failure to prevent” offences, third-party intermediary risks, conflicts of interest, procurement vulnerabilities and government interactions.
Trauma-Informed Psychosocial Safety
Learn practical techniques for responding to difficult workplace concerns with greater clarity and confidence. This session includes interactive activities using LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® to examine psychological safety, psychosocial hazards, conflict, uncertainty and organisational resilience.
Whistleblowing
Understand the critical role of trusted speak-up systems in managing integrity and conduct risks. Discover how organisations can strengthen whistleblower protections, encourage safe disclosure and respond to concerns lawfully, sensitively and effectively.
