Submitting a complaint

If you have a complaint we ask that you try to resolve it first with the agency involved. Agencies should have procedures for handling complaints. For help on what to include in your complaint see Tips on making a complaint to a State Government agency or follow advice from the relevant agency.

If you are not satisfied after complaining to the agency concerned, please contact us.

If there are special reasons why you do not wish to approach the agency first, you may complain directly to us.

How to submit your complaint to us

Your complaint needs to be in writing.

However, we encourage you to telephone us before making your written complaint so we can advise you on the best way to proceed.

Refer to what to include in your complaint for more details.
