Complaints Handling - CompliSpace

Complaints Handling

In a recent BRW survey of Australia’s fastest growing companies, 96% of respondents nominated the handling of complaints as the second most important issue for their customers. The implementation of an effective complaints handling system is also recognised as a key element of all effective compliance, risk management and corporate governance programs.

What constitutes a complaints handling program is clearly defined by the Australian Standard and the International Standard (AS ISO 10002-2006) which provides a framework that can be adopted by most businesses.

CompliSpace’s online Complaints Handling program is designed to:

Increase client satisfaction levels and enhance the quality of client relationships

Recognise, promote and protect clients' rights, including the right to comment and complain
