Make a complaint
If you have a complaint, we want to know about it and take the opportunity to put it right. If you have a complaint about our products, staff, handling of a complaint or the services we’ve provided (including our obligations under the Life Insurance Code of Practice), please contact us to let us know your concerns.
We will do all we can to resolve your complaint as quickly as possible.
The first thing you can do is let us know what has occurred. You can:
- Call us on 1300 996 143

One of our customer service consultants may be able to resolve the issue immediately or within 5 business days.
If our customer service consultant cannot resolve your complaint within 5 business days, they will escalate your complaint to the IDR team. You may also contact the IDR team directly by:

The IDR team will keep you regularly informed about the progress of your complaint.
We always aim to resolve your complaint as quickly as possible. If the IDR team is unable to resolve your complaint within the maximum timeframe (30 days), they will inform you of the reasons for the delay and let you know when to expect a response to your complaint.
If you are unhappy with the delay or response to your complaint, you can escalate your complaint to the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA) as outlined in step 3 below.
