Officials from my Department met with the discloser in relation to further information the discloser wished to include as part of their original disclosure. The Discloser subsequently forwarded additional information for inclusion.

The discloser was advised that the Department was taking the disclosure seriously, that the information provided would be considered and that action would be taken where appropriate.

This process has not yet fully concluded.

My Department also outlined to the Discloser that this would take some time as a number of matters were raised and that it was not possible to accurately indicate how long this would take.

My Department will write to the Discloser when its consideration of the protective disclosure has been concluded.
