Resolving complaints

Resolving complaints

As part of our commitment to providing quality service to our clients, we endeavour to resolve all complaints quickly, fairly, objectively and free of charge.

Our policy is to acknowledge any complaint promptly or as soon as practicable,  if they are not resolved within 24 hrs. We investigate, properly consider and decide what action (if any) to take and communicate our decision to you within 30 days (45 days if you invested with superannuation monies). You can find more details in our Complaint Policy.

If you have a particular complaint regarding your Annuity, Managed Investment Scheme or Superannuation Plan, please do not hesitate to contact us by:
