Maladministration

What is Maladministration?

Maladministration is defined in the NSW Protected Disclosures Act as conduct that involves action or inaction of a serious nature, that is:

• contrary to law;
• unreasonable;
• unjust;
• oppressive;
• improperly discriminatory; or
• based wholly or partly on improper motives.

Maladministration is action or inaction that is contrary to policy and consequently results in an inequitable outcome.
