33 Notifying reportable allegations or reportable convictions

(1) This section applies if a person becomes aware of either of the following—

(a) a reportable allegation about a worker of a reporting entity;

(b) a reportable conviction of a worker of a reporting entity.

(2) If the person (the
"notifier" ) who becomes aware of the allegation or conviction mentioned in subsection (1) is also a worker of the reporting entity, the notifier must, as soon as practicable—

(a) report the matter to the head of the reporting entity; or

(b) if the matter relates to the head of the reporting entity—report the matter to the commission.

(3) However, subsection (2) does not apply to the notifier if the notifier reasonably believes the matter has already been reported by another person under that subsection.

(4) Any person, including a notifier mentioned in subsection (2) , may notify the commission of a reportable allegation or reportable conviction about a person at any time.

(5) To remove any doubt, it is declared that a person does not commit an offence against this or another Act only because the person fails to comply with subsection (2) .
