AWARENESS
All staff and consultants who deal with (or are likely to deal with) clients, are aware of the names, titles and telephone numbers of our and BLSSA Pty Ltd.’s Complaints Officers.
Each staff member and consultant are also instructed in how to transfer a client who has a complaint to our Complaints Officer or BLSSA Pty Ltd.’s Complaints Officer; and what client details to record if the Complaints Officers are for any reason unavailable (this information will include a minimum of the name, telephone number, and description of the product or transaction to which the complaint relates). We and BLSSA Pty Ltd do not charge any fee in respect to any complaint.
TIMELINESS
We will provide a written acknowledgement of receipt of the complaint to the client within 24 hours (1 business day) or as soon as practicable unless the complaint is otherwise resolved in the meantime.
We will ensure that a final response is given to you as soon as possible, but within twenty-one (21) or thirty (30) days of receipt of the complaint.
If we or BLSSA Pty Ltd are unable to deal with the complaint as it relates to a third party (for example, a lender), we or BLSSA Pty Ltd may ask you to contact the relevant third party.
For certain types of complaints, involving “default notices” or urgent disputes such as “applications for hardship”, a final response must be provided within twenty-one (21) days.
Final responses to complaints not involving financial hardship should be received by you within thirty (30) days.
If we cannot respond to you within relevant timeframes, we will inform you within thirty (30) days of the reasons for the delay and of your right to refer the complaint to the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA) or, in the case of privacy complaints, to the Australian Information Commissioner.
We will have provided a final response to you if we:
(a) Accept the complaint and, if appropriate, offer redress, or
(b) Offer redress without accepting the complaint; or
(c) Reject the complaint.
WRITTEN RESPONSE TO A CLIENT
We will give you a written response to your complaint and the reasons for reaching a particular decision on the complaint. We will adequately address the issues that are raised in the complaint.
Where practicable, our response will refer to applicable provisions in Legislation, Codes, Standards or Procedures.
We will inform you of the contact particulars of our EDR Scheme and, for privacy complaints, the Australian Information Commissioner if you are not satisfied with the outcome of our investigating the complaint.
REMEDIES
If we accept the complaint and are of the view that it is appropriate to offer redress to you, that redress may be non-financial as well as, or instead of, financial. If we consider that a financial remedy is appropriate then we will provide compensation for any direct loss or damage caused.
We will, when determining the appropriate remedy, take into consideration the extent of loss or damage suffered by you, relevant legal principles, EDR scheme rules, the MFAA Code of Practice and other relevant codes of conduct and concepts of fairness and relevant industry best practice.
DATA COLLECTION
We will keep data concerning the complaint in such form and manner as we think fit and will enable analysis according to:
(a) Type of complaint;
(b) Subject of complaint;
(c) Outcome of complaint;
(d) Timeliness of response.
So that we can identify any systematically recurring problems, we will classify complaints accordingly.
Subject to legal constraints including our privacy obligations, we will make available data collected in respect of the complaint upon request to the EDR Scheme, of which we are a member, and the Australian Securities and Investments Commission.
REVIEW
We will review our Internal Dispute Resolution Procedures at least every three (3) years to ensure that our complaints systems are operating effectively. This document was reviewed on 01 October 2021
A complainant must only be referred to the EDR scheme after the complaint has been fully considered under the internal dispute resolution procedure as outlined in this document. Once the IDR procedure has been exhausted, the complainant must be notified that the complaint cannot be resolved and that they are able to refer the complaint to the EDR scheme. Included in the notification should be the contact details of the EDR scheme and a reference to the dispute resolution procedure distributed earlier in the IDR procedure.
