Review of Actions
Independent, external Review of Actions in the public sector
Many public sector industrial agreements and policies require an external, independent decision-maker to participate in review of actions processes. Worklogic’s experts have the expertise and experience to adjudicate and make fair, defensible review decisions.
Review of Action Panels
In government departments and agencies, councils, universities and other public sector -related organisations, employees often have the right to seek a review of a decision made by the organisation that affects them. To ensure fairness and an external perspective, the review process often requires an external decision-maker (someone who is not an employee) to sit on the panel and take part in the review decision.
Worklogic’s experts have significant experience in the public sector, a strong reputation for fairness and impartiality, and expertise in workplace relations and evidence-based decision-making.
Our Approach
Worklogic is experienced in conducting review of actions under the Public Administration Act 2004 (Vic). We are listed in the Victorian Public Sector Commission’s Register of Review Officers as ‘independent review officers and investigators experienced in conducting reviews and investigations into unacceptable workplace behaviours [who are] available for Victorian public sector organisations to engage as needed.’
Our team includes qualified mediators, conflict coaches and former employment and litigation lawyers. We are experienced in managing Review of Action hearings, making findings and writing reports in relation to specific matters raised by public sector employees.
Applying a robust approach to evidence, we always maintain a fair process.
We are confident to seek the information we need to make defensible decisions, to manage conflict and the process challenges that often arise, and to preserve our role as the independent decision-maker.
This is why many public sector organisations trust Worklogic’s consultants to sit on Review of Actions panels.

Storm from Worklogic conducted a Phase 1 review recently for us related to a time sensitive matter. Storm was very responsive. Storm commenced and completed the investigation without delay; and I was very pleased with the support and assistance Storm provided during the process ensuring all parties were provided an opportunity to outline their concerns and points of view.

I engaged with Worklogic to provide confidential and professional coaching to a senior staff member. They were approachable, professional and accountable. The staff member reported that they felt they had developed and matured in a supported and structured way that was person centred and appropriate for where they were at.

My team recently had the pleasure of participating in an exceptional Workplace Investigation Training program with Worklogic. Jason’s expertise and wealth of experience was obvious. His deep knowledge of workplace dynamics, legal considerations, and investigative techniques created a learning environment that was both engaging and enlightening.
Dane Bates
Worklogic recently conducted a workplace investigation for us, and I was thoroughly impressed with the professionalism and industrial relations expertise they brought to the process. Senior Consultant Storm Carnie managed the investigation with exceptional skill, and her approach was methodical, transparent, and highly considerate of all parties. The investigation was conducted with a level of thoroughness and clarity that gave me great confidence in the outcomes. I felt supported throughout, and the process was handled with integrity and respect. I would not hesitate to engage Worklogic again should the need arise.
