The complaints process

Our complaints process is free and we manage all complaints in a fair and timely manner.

After you’ve lodged a complaint with us:

  1. We'll aim to acknowledge your complaint within 1 business day, or as soon as practicable.

  2. Most complaints can be resolved straight away or within days.

  3. If further investigation is needed, we'll keep you up-to-date and advise you in writing if we cannot resolve your complaint within 21 calendar days. We’ll provide you with reasons why, an expected timeframe, and information about your right to escalate your complaint to the Australian Financial Complaints Authority.

You can also download our complaints resolution guide.
