FAQ
Whistleblower FAQs
Answers to common questions about AURA’s public-interest reporting channel.
Can AURA investigate a criminal offence?
No. AURA does not exercise police, judicial, prosecutorial or statutory investigative powers. It may receive, document and refer information.
Can I remain anonymous?
You may choose not to provide your name, but anonymity can affect the ability to clarify facts or provide follow-up.
Will reporting to AURA automatically start an official case?
No. AURA is not itself a statutory complaint authority. The appropriate authority must be approached where a formal legal process is required.
What if someone is in immediate danger?
Contact the appropriate emergency service or competent authority immediately rather than waiting for an email response.
