How we handle your complaint
Once your complaint is received, we'll send you a confirmation, generally by the next working day, while steps are taken to assign a team member to help.
It is a legislative requirement that we resolve your complaint within 45 calendar days (90 calendar days if the complaint relates to superannuation death benefits distributions). However, our aim is to resolve your complaint right away, or where it’s not possible, within five business days. If more time is required, we will always notify you.
You can find out more by downloading our Complaints Management Procedures guide.
Details we’ll need when you get in touch
When you contact our Helpline team with a complaint, we’ll ask for:
- Your full name, contact details and member number.
- What your complaint relates to – whether it’s about your super, a claims process, or our customer service – what went wrong and how you would like your complaint resolved.
- Any additional documentation or information that could assist us with your complaint, such as relevant emails, letters or statements.
