This paper examines the background, importance, and implications the new whistleblowing legislation will have on the corporations in Australia. According to previous studies, whistleblowing helps to promote good corporate governance and fraud reduction. The last legislation, the whistleblower had several shortcomings in terms of protecting whistleblowers against victimization. The changes incorporated in the new whistleblower legislation seek to increase whistleblowers protection as well as expand the scope of disclosures.
