What happens once I have lodged a complaint?
Your rights
Once you have made a complaint you have the right to:

• Include with the complaint any relevant documentation in support of your complaint;
• Be treated courteously;
• Receive prompt acknowledgment of receipt of the complaint and/or prompt resolution;
• Expect the complaint to receive fair and genuine consideration by QPF;
• Have information that you provide treated confidentially unless QPF has reasonable
  grounds otherwise;
• Have the complaint dealt with in a reasonably prompt manner having regard amongst other
  things, to the time taken for the receipt and dispatch of mail and the nature and complexity
  of the complaint;
• Not to be charged for making a complaint;
• Be informed of the outcome and conclusion of the complaint and the reason for the
  decision.

Your Responsibilities

• Not to make complaints that are frivolous, unnecessary or have been previously dealt with;
• Provide such assistance as QPF may reasonably request for the purpose of assessing and
  processing your complaint

External Dispute Resolution
In the event that a complaint remains unresolved despite all reasonable attempts by both parties
to resolve the matter, the complaint may be referred by either party, to the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA). Further details of AFCA’s procedure can be obtained from QPF or by contacting them directly (www.afca.org.au).

Will this process change over time?
The complaints handling process is current at the time of printing and may change from time to
time.
