FAQ: Feedback and complaints

When you are next in the office, ask to see the Business Manager. Let them know your concerns and they will do their best to address the situation.

At times this may involve being allocated to a different consultant. Regardless of this, it is important you let us know how you are feeling so we can try to do better.

Definitely not. If you have concerns, it is most important you share them with us. We can then work with you to try and resolve the issues.

It will help us greatly if you speak up and, at times, this is the first step in heading in a more positive direction with your servicing requirements.

Regardless of the outcome of a complaint, it is very important to speak up. We use all types of feedback to help identify opportunities for improvement in our service, including identifying training needs for our staff.
