What to include with your feedback or complaint

Please ensure the following information is included in your feedback/complaint:

​

  • Your name

  • Your contact details such as phone number, email address and postal address

  • What your feedback or complaint is about - eg. the name of the service, who was involved, what happened etc

  • What you want to see happen as a result of your feedback or complaint

Can I give anonymous feedback?

You have the right to make an anonymous complaint, however, this may make it more difficult to investigate if we are unable to follow-up or get additional information from you.  

What happens after I provide feedback or make a complaint?

A staff member will confirm within two business days that we have received your feedback.
If the feedback is a compliment or suggestion, it will be sent to the appropriate manager who will be in touch to thank you and discuss it.
If the feedback is a complaint, it may be resolved immediately, however we may need to ask you to provide additional information and/or speak to our staff or other people involved. 
We are committed to resolve all complaints and let you know the result within 28 days. If it's going to take longer, we’ll let you know. All complaints are important and we investigate them thoroughly. 

Will I be treated differently if I make a complaint?

Absolutely not.

 

Everyone has the right to make a complaint. We welcome your feedback and you will not be adversely affected.  We will thank you for taking the time to help us improve. 

​

What happens if I'm not happy with the outcome of my complaint?

You can ask for a review by a different Manager at Supports for Living. 
 

Any review will involve further discussion with you and a result will be provided within 10 working days
 

You can also make a complaint  to the NDIS Quality & Safeguards Commission. You can do this at any stage of the complaint process, or if you’re not happy with our response. Use their online complaint form or call them on 1 800 035 544
