Introduction
We are committed to handling all complaints fairly, efficiently, and effectively.
Complaints allow us to understand areas for improvement and to utilise the experience and information to improve our practices and reduce the occurrence of complaints.
Every customer we interact with is important. Each complaint is taken seriously, and we will do our best to resolve your issue in a timely and fair manner, and keep you informed along the way.

Complaint process
When making a complaint with us, we require some information so we can investigate your issue thoroughly and effectively. These details will be forwarded to our Internal Dispute Resolution (IDR) team. If the IDR team identify the complaint is in relation to one of our partners’ products or services, they will refer you to the partner’s IDR process.
We will acknowledge complaints within one business day or as soon as practicable, and an outcome will be provided to you within 30 calendar days. If we believe the complaint will take longer than 30 days to resolve, we will notify you of the delay.
External review options
If you are not satisfied with the decision or the way we handled your complaint, you can pursue the complaint further with an external body such as the relevant Ombudsman listed in the below table. They will independently and impartially resolve complaints between consumers and participating service providers. Please note that before the relevant ombudsman can investigate and assist you with your complaint, they generally require you to have first provided us with the opportunity to address the complaint.
