National Workplace Investigations conducts investigations into workplace misconduct. This includes codes of conduct breaches, thefts, assaults, fraud, conflicts of interest and breaches of contract and fiduciary duties.
We are also experienced in complex investigations such as child abuse and sexual abuse, sexual misconduct, disability abuse and matters relevant to the reportable conduct schemes including historical offences.
We are experienced in working with oversight bodies, including the Independent Commission Against Corruption and relevant Ombudsman’s officers, to ensure our clients’ requirements for reporting and compliance in such complex matters are adhered to.
We can manage the entire investigation process, including the complainant, all witnesses and those people subject to allegations. Alternatively, we have experience in complying with clients’ existing organisational policies and procedures.
All of our investigations come with a scope and costings, so that you know expected actions, timeframes and costs for finishing the investigation. There is no investigation creep or bill shock when you engage National Workplace Investigations.
Code of Conduct
A code of conduct is a document written for employees which identifies the required standard of behaviour and informs the employees of an organisation’s expectations. Depending on the organisation, an employee may have acted or represented the organisation in such a way that is alleged to have breached the code and an investigation may be required to determine whether their actions did amount to a breach of the organisational code of conduct.
Procurement & Contract Fraud
Similar to workplace fraud and corruption, procurement and contract management fraud can take many forms such as favouring a particular supplier for personal gain. This is not always from a monetary perspective: it can be to benefit a friend or may involve offering favourable advice during a tendering process.
Harassment & bullying in the workplace
Even though many organisations put best practices in place, workplace harassment and bullying still happens. Workplace bullying occurs when a person engages repeatedly in unreasonable acts towards an individual or group of workers and the behaviour creates a risk to the health and safety of the individual subject of the act.
Fraud & Corruption
Fraud can happen anywhere. We need to trust our employees, yet if we are not prepared for fraud in the workplace, it can be harder to spot when it does occur. Monitoring movements of employees, business partners, or even competitors can sometimes be imperative for the collection of evidence when suspicious circumstances arise within a business.
Reportable Conduct & reportable Incidents
Generally, each jurisdiction will have a reportable conduct and/or reportable incident scheme relating to child-related organisations and the disability sector. The oversight of these schemes is the responsibility of the Ombudsman for each jurisdiction.
Workplace Accidents
A workplace accident involving the serious injury or death of an employee brings an enormous amount of emotion to an already difficult process of establishing what happened and why.

No matter what the investigation need, National Workplace Investigations' experience and expertise across administrative, civil and criminal investigations will ensure that clients’ needs are met and exceeded.
