Complaints and feedback

When should I raise a complaint or provide feedback?

We encourage you to contact a member of the team as soon as you become aware of an issue that needs addressing. Similarly, please contact us if you would like to provide any feedback about the services you receive.

With whom should I raise my complaint?

We request that you raise a complaint with us. Please do not raise a complaint with Community Support Staff directly. We will discuss your concerns with you and work to resolve them.

Your issue will be documented and, in some instances, may be able to be resolved immediately. For non-urgent issues, you will be contacted within 2 business days. If you consider your issue to be urgent, every effort will be made to have the appropriate person contact you within the day.
