Compliments & Complaints

  • Try speaking with us about your concerns

    You may choose to raise your concern or complaint with us first if you can. This is often the easiest and quickest way to resolve things.

    Try writing down your concerns

    Writing it all down allows you to present all the information logically. This makes it easier for for all stakeholders to understand what’s happened. It also gives you a written record of your concerns.

    Focus on facts

    Feeling distressed, angry or frustrated about things that affect your life or your loved ones is understandable. However, a complaint that details the facts and events will help all stakeholders (including us) to assess it.

    Include important information

    Try to include as many details as you can, such as names, dates and locations.

    Be clear about what you want

    Think about what you'd like to see happen because of the complaint. It should be reasonable and in your best interests or the affected client.

    For example, you may want:

    • an apology.

    • an explanation of what happened.

    • a plan from from the organisation (including us) to prevent it from happening again.

    Ask for help

    Making a complaint can be confronting, especially if you have an ongoing and long relationship with us or the organisation you are complaining about. If you’re concerned, ask a friend or family member to help you write your complaint.

    Contact an advocacy service

    An advocate can:

    • help you make decisions that affect your quality of life.

    • explain your rights and responsibilities.

    • discuss options for taking action.

    • support you when you raise a concern with us or a provider.

    • help you at any stage of the process.
