How to lodge a complaint
Phone: 1300 30 39 40
Email: [email protected]
Post: GPO Box 424, Brisbane, Queensland 4001
How long does it take?
When responding to complaints, we will endeavour to acknowledge your complaint:
- via telephone: immediately.
- in writing (either email or letter): within 1 business day of receipt.
All complaints require, to a greater or lesser degree, an investigation to determine what has happened and an appropriate course of action. If we cannot resolve your complaint at first point of contact, we will endeavour to, where possible, resolve complaints within 30 calendar days after receipt of the complaint.
We aim to provide you with a final response no later than:
- if the complaint relates to financial hardship or debt collection, 21 calendar days. If we do not have sufficient information to make a decision about the complaint, we will request any further information required within 21 calendar days of receiving the complaint; or
- for other complaints, 30 calendar days after receipt of the complaint.
If a response cannot be provided within the above timeframes due to extenuating circumstances (for example, because we are waiting for further information from a third party) we will notify you of the delay, including the reasons for the delay.
Interpreter Services
If you need to talk to us and have difficulty speaking or understanding English, call the Telephone Interpreter Service (TIS) on 131 450 and ask them to call us on 1300 123 123, between 8am and 6pm (AEST).
TIS provides a service with over 100 languages.
You may nominate a representative to lodge a complaint and liaise with MMS on your behalf using this form. Alternatively, you can provide your own authorisation form provided it is from an appropriate authority (for example, a financial counsellor).
