The Society is committed to handling complaints fairly, effectively and efficiently. We will ensure that all complaints are acknowledged, thoroughly assessed and investigated, and provide a written response where required. We endeavour to provide you a response no later than 30 days after receiving the complaint. The Society can provide options to assist customers who might need additional assistance to lodge a complaint depending on their personal circumstances and/or vulnerability.

If you have any questions, concerns or complaints about your investment or our services, please contact the Society on 1300 092 424 between 10am and 4pm AEST Monday to Friday, or writing to:
