Our Complaint Checker tool can help guide you. The tool provides specific information about the organizations we get enquiries and complaints about most often, including whether we can or can’t investigate. It also provides details on how you can raise your complaints about specific organizations. Please know we ask that you to try to resolve your complaint with the organization first as it is often a more effective and efficient process. If that’s not possible for you, please contact us.
The complaint checker doesn’t cover every organization under our jurisdiction but it does include information for over 70% of the complaints and enquiries we receive. If the organization your complaint is about is not listed, contact us directly to find out how we can help.
