Complaint

A ‘customer complaint’ is a complaint about the service or action of the organisation, or its staff, by a person who is apparently directly affected by the service or action. Below is our process of managing a complaint;

  • We will acknowledge that we have received your complaint.
  • We will action your complaint, and aim to resolve it. We may contact you for further information.
  • We will write to you and let you know the outcome. Most complaints are resolved within 30 days however some complaints are more complex and take longer. We will keep you informed if this is the case.
  • If for some reason we cannot deal with your complaint (for example, the issue is outside the jurisdiction of the MFS), we will write to you and let you know.

We are committed to handling customer complaints quickly, seriously and confidentially.  Anyone making a complaint will be treated with courtesy. Where possible, complaints will be resolved at the first point of contact.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you have the right to refer matters to the Ombudsman SA.

If you need help with sending feedback, or would like to check on the progress of a customer complaint you can contact the Executive Services Manager on (08) 8115 3603.
