The aim is to ensure that complaints are handled as fairly and efficiently as possible before judicial processes are involved, which are expensive and often discourage whistle-blowers from taking action.
As I explained previously, at the second level of recourse, the tribunal can not only adjudicate compensation, but also review the decision. Personally, I see this as a significant simplification. In addition, whistle-blowers would be given the right to apply to the tribunal and then to the Federal Court. Basically, it gives whistle-blowers an added opportunity to access justice more efficiently.
