If you need help to make a complaint

If you need help to make or manage your complaint, you can appoint someone (for example, a relative or friend) to represent you. Please note that we will need your authority to speak to any representative that you appoint

Complaint Acknowledgment and Investigation

Once your complaint is received, we will:

  1. Confirm receipt of the complaint within 24 hours (one business day) through your preferred communication channel.
  2. Notify you of the steps we will undertake to resolve your complaint.

Our team will aim to resolve most complaints immediately. If your complaint requires further investigation, it will be referred to a more senior staff member.

Complaint Resolution Timeframe

We aim to resolve all complaints as quickly as possible. If your complaint can be resolved within five business days, we will notify you through the communication method used to lodge the complaint. Otherwise, a formal written response will be provided via email.

If the complaint requires further investigation, we will provide an outcome within 21 days of receiving your complaint. If a resolution cannot be reached within this time, we will notify you of the reason for the delay and provide an estimated timeline for resolution.
