How will your feedback be managed
If you have any feedback or complaints we will endeavour to respond to you promptly and sensitively. Feedback information is treated confidentially and is managed according to the Associations’ privacy obligations. We investigate complaints thoroughly to know what happened and why, and will also seek your suggestions on ways to prevent the issue happening again. All complaints are investigated by the Executive Officer and a report along with the original written complaint are presented to the Board of Directors.
We also have a quality improvement log where suggestions on how we can improve any aspects of our services are detailed and incorporated into our strategic planning processes – which happen from November through to February each year. If you would like a copy of any of the Associations policies and processes in relation to how we handle feedback and complaints from our service users, please contact the Chief Executive Officer on 1300 650 594.
