We can help you put your complaint in writing.

You can have a family member or friend help you make a complaint or be with you at any time, if that makes you feel more comfortable.

We can arrange an interpreter if you need one, or you can get help with that by accessing the Translating and Interpreting Service (TIS National).

  • Complete the form on our Complaints, Compliments and Feedback brochure
  • Post or email your complaint to the manager of your service
  • Use our online form

What happens next?

  • We will let you know we got your complaint
