SAPHIRA SUPPORTS values the perspective and input from our consumers and the community and actively ensures that they have an accessible and a safe avenue for providing feedback that fosters a culture which supports consumers and the community to make positive comments as well as raise complaints.
All feedback provides SAPHIRA SUPPORTS with an opportunity to review services, facilities or systems which can lead to quality improvements for the consumer.
SAPHIRA SUPPORTS has a commitment to the fair resolution of complaints by people at all levels in the organisation by adopting the “Natural Justice Process”. This means that a minimum standard of fairness is to be applied to the investigation and resolution of a complaint.
SAPHIRA SUPPORTS will ensure that all management, staff, Board members, volunteers, students and agency staff; are familiar with and understand the SAPHIRA Customer Complaints and Feedback management process and that customers are aware of their right to make a complaint and the right to have an advocate to assist them with this process.
SAPHIRA SUPPORTS is committed to acknowledging complaints within seven working days of a complaint being received. For complex complaints, SAPHIRA SUPPORTS will complete the process within 28 days wherever possible. If the complainant is not satisfied with SAPHIRA SUPPORTS' internal process outcome, SAPHIRA SUPPORTS will provide information about the relevant external Complaints Management Commissioners.
Your feedback will be received by our Customer Relations Coordinator who will respond directly (generally via email) and will liaise with the team leaders and managers of the program or area with whom you have concerns.
