Foreword

As Chief Executive Housing and Disability Reform, I have pleasure in presenting this Good Practice Guide on successfully managing complaints.

We continue to work with our disability support providers to promote a culture where people feel able to speak up about the supports they receive and where complaints are embraced as an opportunity to improve quality of services.  This Guide provides advice and tips for service providers in preparing for, resolving and reviewing the handling of complaints about their services.

Our disability support providers already operate in a regulatory environment. This Guide is designed to complement existing legislative and contractual requirements. It is just one part of a range of controls and mechanisms that support compliance and continuous improvement of services.

Please visit the Departments website to familiarise yourself with the range of information and resources we have available.

I commend this Good Practice Guide and Self Audit Tool to you as a useful reference to help your organisation further refine and enhance your approach to handling complaints to ensure that people feel that it’s ok to complain.
