Welcome to Ontario Health’s Anonymous Ethics Hotline

Introduction

Ontario Health holds itself to the highest ethical standards. Ontario Health employees are public servants and are subject to the conflict-of-interest rules and ethical standards for public servants under the Public Service of Ontario Act, 2006 (PSOA). This reporting platform that is hosted by an independent third party provides an anonymous means to report ethical wrongdoing involving current and former staff of Ontario Health, which includes fraud and/or “wrongdoing” as defined in the PSOA.

Wrongdoing under the PSOA includes conduct by individuals employed by Ontario Health that:

• breaches a law (e.g. conflict of interest, breach of PSOA’s political activity rules, fraud)
• creates a grave danger to the life, health or safety of people or the environment
• is gross mismanagement or
• directs or counsels one of the above.

Ontario Health will review all reports received.
