Complaints
We want to hear from you
We will always do everything possible to provide you with outstanding service, but we recognise that sometimes you may be dissatisfied with that service or a decision that has been made in relation to your insurance.
We value your feedback and want you to tell us if we have not met your expectations. Telling us gives us a chance to improve our products and services, and to resolve your concerns in a fair, transparent and timely manner.
What to do if you have a complaint
Please contact us to explain your concerns, and try to provide as much information as possible. You will find our details here.
Your complaint may be about your insurance policy, a claim or a privacy issue, relate to the conduct of our staff or authorised representatives, or involve repairers, investigators, assessors or loss adjusters.
Once notified to us, your complaint will be handled through our Internal Dispute Resolution (IDR) process.
Complaint process
If we have all necessary information and have completed any assessment or investigation required, we will respond to your complaint in writing, including reasons for our decision.
If we need more time we will advise you, discuss reasonable alternative timeframes and keep you informed of our progress in responding to your complaint.
If we do not make a decision within the period that we tell you we will respond, we will tell you about your right to lodge a complaint with an external dispute resolution scheme.
External dispute resolution
If an issue has not been resolved to your satisfaction, you can lodge a complaint with the Australian Financial Complaints Authority, or AFCA. AFCA provides fair and independent financial services complaints resolution that is free to customers.
