We will treat the process, and all the details of your complaint, in strict confidence. If we need to discuss any issues arising from your complaint with outside of directly related parties, we will obtain your consent first.

We will always try to give you a fair opportunity to explain your case. You should make your initial complaint as clear as possible.

We may want to meet you in person to discuss your concerns and try to find a satisfactory solution.

We will endeavour to resolve your complaint as soon as possible. However, the length of this time will depend on the nature and complexity of the issues you have raised.

We will give you an estimate of how long it may take us to deal with the matter but we will endeavour to finalise the matter within 30 days.

If we decide that your complaint is justified, we will then decide what action we should take in response. We will always try to match our response to the nature of your complaint and your desired outcome, but this may not always be possible.

Some of the things that we decided to do include:

  • take steps to rectify the problem or issue you have raised
  • provide you with additional information or advice so you can understand what happened or how we have dealt with it
  • take steps to change our policies or procedures if your complaint identifies a problem in the way we are doing things
