If you have a complaint

As someone who interacts with our organisation (an external stakeholder), there might be an occasion when you want to express a complaint about us without fear of any unfavourable consequences. We understand this and have developed a process to make it possible because we welcome any opportunity to improve our services.

How to let us know

You can let us know how you are feeling via:

  • speaking to a person face-to-face
  • telephone – ring us on the main switchboard number 9311 8202
  • in print, Braille, audio or electronic format (including our online contact form) or via our generic email address: feedback@visability.com.au

You may involve another person as an advocate at any stage of our complaints process.

Child Safety

For all complaints relating to child safety, please email childsafety@everabilitygroup.org.au

Behaviour of all parties

Your complaint will be received with a positive attitude and treated promptly and fairly. When engaged in our complaints process, VisAbility expects its staff, volunteers and stakeholders to respect each other’s dignity; be fair and courteous to each other; keep all matters confidential and give high priority to resolving the complaint.

VisAbility will not respond to complaints made by any person whose conduct during the process is unreasonable.

Our response

If your complaint is not quickly resolved, it will be passed onto a manager or executive staff member.

This person:

  • will let you know, within two working days, that your complaint has been received; and
  • will tell you how long we expect it will take us to resolve your complaint; and
  • may contact you further if more details or discussion are required; and
  • will contact you every ten working days at least to inform you of the progress of your complaint until it is finalised.
