If an individual/group wishes to lodge a formal complaint against an AusREP the following steps must be followed:
We acknowledge: | Within three business days of receiving a complaint, we will acknowledge receipt of the complaint. |
| We review: | We undertake an initial review of the complaint and determine what if any additional information or documentation may be required to complete an investigation. We may need to contact the complainant to clarify details or request additional information where necessary. |
| We investigate: | We will investigate the complaint objectively and impartially, by considering the information provided to us by the complainant and any other information which may be available, that could assist us in investigating the complaint. |
| We respond: | Following our investigation, we will notify the parties of our findings and any actions we may have taken in regards to the complaint. |
