The MyState Group Whistleblower Protection Policy (WPP) ensures that there are processes in place to maintain the highest standards of ethical behaviour and integrity and protect any person who reports inappropriate conduct from reprisal. The WPP doesn’t just apply to our employees, but to contractors, consultants, suppliers, third party providers, brokers or auditors.

Some examples of the type of conduct which may be considered reportable may include (but is not limited to):

• An actual or potential criminal offence;
• Suspicion of fraud or theft;
• Suspect transactions;
• Disregard for legislation and regulation;
• Breach of corporate governance (e.g. laws, policies and procedures);
• Breach of a code of conduct;
• Actual or likely damage or loss to any of MyState’s assets;
• Unethical behaviour generally.

If you have a concern, you may report inappropriate conduct through the following channels:

1. To our external Whistleblower Speak Up service provider, Your Call. Your Call is an external intermediary service, acting as the conduit between you and MyState Limited when making a report.

   To make a report, visit the Your Call portal or make a verbal hotline report to a Your Call Officer by calling 1300 790 228 (7am to midnight AEST on business days). You will have the option to share your identity or remain fully anonymous.

   Your Call will securely notify MyState Limited’s Whistleblower Protection Officers (or escalate to an alternate authorised officer if required).

   Your Call will remain the intermediary between you and MyState Limited through its secure message board, allowing safe three-way communication.

2. Through our external auditor; Ernst & Young, Phone: (02) 9248 5555.

   Ernst & Young receive whistleblower information when for various reasons the whistleblower is not comfortable utilising the Your Call process. Their role as the recipient of the information is to consider the nature of the issue and assess who in MyState they can communicate with to address the issue raised.

   Ernst & Young would normally address any issue raised with the Company Secretary, as a direct report to the Board. If in their judgement the issue is of a significance or relates to a senior member of the executive team, they may choose to raise the matter directly with the Chair of the Board. The confidentiality of the Whistleblower will be held sacrosanct.
