industrial disputes
We work cooperatively with the
Community and Public Sector Union
(CPSU), the Media Entertainment
and Arts Alliance (MEAA) and staff
representatives. No days were lost in
the year as a result of industrial dispute.
enterprise agreement
The current Film Victoria Collective
Agreement 2007 expired on 1 March
2009, and negotiations are underway
as at 30 June 2009 for the finalization
of a new Agreement. The terms and
conditions of the current Agreement
are largely in alignment with the terms
and conditions of the Victorian Public
Service Agreement.
whistleblowers protection act
The Whistleblowers Protection Act
2001 encourages and assists people in
making disclosures of improper conduct
by public officers and public bodies. The
Act provides protection to people who
make disclosures in accordance with
the Act and establishes a system for the
matters disclosed to be investigated and
rectifying action to be taken.
Film Victoria does not tolerate improper
conduct by employees, nor the taking
of reprisals against those who come
forward to disclose such conduct. It is
committed to ensuring transparency and
accountability in its administrative and
management practices and supports the
making of disclosures that reveal corrupt
conduct, conduct involving a substantial
mismanagement of public resources,
or conduct involving a substantial
risk to public health and safety or
the environment.
Film Victoria will take all reasonable
steps to protect people who make such
disclosures from any detrimental action in
reprisal for making the disclosure. It will
also afford natural justice to the person
who is the subject of the disclosure.
