We are particularly interested to hear of any complaints you have with our service so we can do better next time.  If you would like to make a complaint we have adopted the following steps to resolve any issues that may arise:

STEP 1

You can lodge a complaint either verbally or in written form. The complaint can also be lodged by the client concerned, friend, relative, interpreter, legal attorney, carer or an advocate.  All details of the complaint will be documented and the complaint will be kept private and confidential between the organisation and the complainant.

STEP 2feedback home assist services

The Manager will investigate the complaint by visiting the client at their home, if this is necessary.   At this stage every effort will be made to resolve the issue to the full satisfaction of the complainant.

STEP 3

If the issue cannot be resolved to their full satisfaction, the complaint will be presented to the members of the Management Committee for resolution. The Chairperson or his/her nominee will further investigate the issue and report back to the Committee.

STEP 4

If the issue cannot be resolved it will be referred to the relevant Government department.

ADVOCACY
Advocacy can help to create a level playing field by supporting older people, people with a disability and their carers to be heard. An advocate provides support by working with you, solely on your behalf and at your direction.  ADA Australia is a not-for-profit community based statewide advocacy service funded to provide information, education, support and representation to enable people to understand and exercise their rights and their responsibilities.  You can contact them on 1800 818 338
