What happens if my feedback is a complaint?
When your complaint arrives, we will let you know we’ve received it within five working days. If we have to let you know by mail, it may take a bit longer depending on where you live.
If you have complained for a friend or family/whanau member we might have to ask for their permission before we can respond.
We will respond within 20 working days. If we think it will take longer, we will let you know.
