Making a complaint

We’re always looking for ways to improve our service, and hearing from customers like you is a key part of that.

If we don’t meet your expectations, we want you to tell us what happened and how we can improve what we do. By hearing your feedback or complaint and working with you to resolve it, we’ll learn how to prevent it from happening again.

You may contact our Customer Contact Centre by any or combination of the following means:

What is the complaint handling process?

  • What happens after I make a complaint?

    We’ll try to resolve your complaint immediately. If we can’t do that, we’ll tell you:

    • who will be handling your complaint
    • their contact details
    • when you can expect us to resolve it.

    If we receive your complaint in writing, we’ll acknowledge it within 1 business days and give you the name and contact details of the person handling your complaint.

  • How long will it take to resolve my complaint?

    If it takes longer than 5 business days to resolve your complaint, we will confirm the outcome with you in writing.

    We aim resolve  complaints within 30 days (or 21 days for financial hardship or a default notice).

    If we need more information from you, we’ll ask you for it.

    If we need more time, we’ll explain why and tell you when you can expect our response. 

  • What if I am not happy with the response?

    If you’re not satisfied with how we’ve resolved your complaint, you can ask our internal Customer Relations team to review our decision.

    You can contact our Customer Relations Team via:

Authorised Representative

You can ask another person to manage your complaint for you, such as a family member, lawyer or financial counsellor. You’ll need to give them a written authorisation so they can prove that they’re acting for you. In some cases we may still need to contact you directly.

If you want to appoint an authorised representative, complete the Authority Form and return it to us.

Accessibility

We know many of our customers prefer to speak to us in a language other than English. If you’d rather speak to us in another language, we can arrange for an interpreter to help you with your complaint when you call us.

If you’re deaf, hard of hearing or have a speech impairment, we welcome calls through the National Relay Service. The NRS relay officer is present throughout the call to ensure smooth communication, but doesn’t change or interfere with what the parties say.

For more information about accessibility including how to adjust the font size on our website can be found here.
