  • assess and investigate the matter(s) raised in your complaint;
  • keep you informed of the progress of your complaint at key stages of the complaints handling process; and

Generally, we will provide you with a response no later than 30 calendar days after receiving your complaint.

In some cases, a different time frame may apply where the resolution of your complaint is particularly complex, or there are circumstances beyond our control causing complaint management delays. Where this is the case, we will provide you with a delay notification which will inform you of the reasons for the delay and your rights to escalate the matter to the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA) if you are dissatisfied.
