Use the Whistleblower Hotline to report a known or suspected case of wrongdoing by Fraser Health.
The Whistleblower Hotline does not replace other established processes or usual reporting structures such as reporting to management, workplace safety, Patient Care Quality Office, or other reporting avenues. Complainants are encouraged to utilize these existing reporting structures. However, if for any reason, these avenues are not deemed appropriate or one is not satisfied of the outcome of a complaint made, a report can be made confidentially and anonymously to the Whistleblower hotline.
