Feedback and Complaints Policy

We understand that feedback from our customers and stakeholders is important to our business.

Purpose

This policy outlines our approach to the management of feedback, including compliments and complaints.

The team at VETASSESS will gladly receive and respond to all feedback from customers in a professional, timely and respectful manner. In line with our quality principles, we encourage a culture of continuous improvement and subsequently recognise feedback as vital to the growth of our business.

Our policy adheres to applicable Australian government legal requirements, standards and guidelines.

The policy is based on the principles of natural justice and procedural fairness. We will ensure complaints are recorded, acknowledged and dealt with fairly, efficiently and effectively. Any concerns from customers will be dealt with in an equitable and impartial manner, respecting all privacy and confidentiality matters.

Scope of this policy

This policy applies to anyone who wishes to provide feedback on their experience with us.

Policy Details

Our customers may provide feedback by making a complaint, a compliment or a suggestion for improvement. All feedback is valued and is central to our continuous improvement practices and strategy.

A complaint is an expression of dissatisfaction about our services and gives our customers the chance to tell their side of the story.

Our customers can make a complaint regarding any aspect of their experience, including the assessment process and the assessment outcome, providing the grounds for making the complaint are reasonable.

Reasonable grounds for making a complaint include, but are not limited to:

  • An assessment decision that is inconsistent with our published criteria or that you believe was made without sufficient consideration of the evidence provided.
  • Negligent conduct of any staff member in relation to the assessment process or outcome.

All complaints will be reviewed, analysed and escalated to management for attention.

Feedback

Your feedback is very important to VETASSESS.

Your feedback may be a compliment or a suggestion for improvement. Completing the form below and selecting the type of feedback, along with the appropriate product or service, will ensure your feedback is delivered to the correct departments.

If you are not satisfied with how your complaint was resolved

Our complaints process does not remove your right to take further action under Australia’s consumer protection laws. If you are not satisfied with our complaints handling process, you have the right to pursue other legal remedies through relevant government channels such as by sending a complaint to the Victorian Ombudsman.
