Authorise a representative.
You can ask another person to help you lodge and/or manage your complaint, such as a family member, lawyer or financial counsellor. You’ll need to give us authority to discuss your complaint with them, and in some cases, we may still need to contact you directly.
If you want to appoint a representative to help you lodge and/or manage your complaint,
you can complete the Representative authority form – Complaints.
What we’ll do next.
When you make a complaint, we’ll let you know we’ve received it. This may be when we first speak to you or within one business day if we receive your complaint in writing.
We aim to resolve complaints immediately or within five business days. If we need more time, we’ll keep you informed of progress and tell you:
- which team will handle your complaint
- how you can contact them.
How we’ll communicate with you
We’ll always try to contact you the same way you contacted us, unless you tell us to do it another way.
We’ll review and investigate your complaint
We are committed to working with you so we can resolve your complaint as quickly as possible.
Once we’ve received your complaint, we will review the information you have provided us and investigate any issues you have raised. We may need to work with other teams internally to find out why an issue might have occurred and look at ways we can resolve it, and/or prevent it from occurring again.
If we need more information
We aim to find a fair and reasonable solution to your complaint using all the information available to us, so if we need more information, we’ll contact you to ask for it.
How long will it take?
If your complaint is about financial hardship, a default notice, or a request to postpone enforcement proceedings we aim to respond to your complaint within 21 days. For all other complaints we aim to respond within 30 days.
In some exceptional cases we may not be able to respond to you within the required time. If this happens, we’ll explain why, and tell you when you can expect our response.
When we’ll send you a written response
We’ll always confirm the outcome to your complaint in writing if:
- it takes us more than five business days to resolve your complaint, or
- your complaint is about financial hardship, or
- at any stage you ask us to.
If you’re still not satisfied.
