If you have chosen to email or write to us with a complaint, you will receive an acknowledgement within 24 hours of us receiving it.
A member of our team will assist you with handling the complaint/dispute and will advise if any further information is needed. Our team will liaise with managers and other team members to escalate your concern to the appropriate person, who will investigate and respond to you. If your complaint/dispute is escalated to the Dispute Resolution Officer, they will determine a fair remedy and you will be informed of the decision and the reasons for that decision.

All complaints/disputes will be processed at no charge to you.
Our Response

-
the final outcome of your complaint/dispute through our dispute resolution process; and
-
in certain circumstances - your rights to take the complaint/dispute to an external dispute resolution service if you are not satisfied with our response and their contact details.
If we reject or partially reject your complaint/dispute, our response will contain reasons for the decisions including, our findings on questions of fact and sufficient information for you to understand the basis of our decision.
Our internal procedures ensure that all complaints/disputes are acknowledged within 24 hours of receipt and dealt with within the predetermined timeframes. A response explaining the outcome of the complaint/dispute and the reasons for it will be provided in most cases within 30 days or within 21 days if the complaint involves hardship.
