The Department of Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation (DETSI) Employee Alterative Reporting Services (EARS)

The Employee Alternative Reporting Service (EARS) provides DETSI staff with an additional channel through which to report information about workplace concerns, anonymously if you wish. This could include concerns about bullying and harassment, discrimination, or workplace behaviours that are disrespectful etc.

The service is provided through an independent company, Stopline, whose primary purpose is to record staff concerns and provide this information back to the department for appropriate action.
