Complaints

AILNZ is committed to prioritising clients’ interests. Clients are the focus of our services. We believe clients’ concerns and complaints are one of the most important ways of understanding, and learning, what we need to do to keep improving and getting better at what we do.

We are keen to resolve any complaint as quickly as we can and clear up any misunderstandings. We have an internal complaint handling process in place to help resolve any complaints.

Our Internal Complaints Handling Process

  1. Once a complaint is received, we will send you a response to acknowledge that we have received your complaint.
  2. We will investigate your complaint and endeavour to resolve your dissatisfaction. Timeframes to resolving complaints does depend on the type and complexity of the complaint, so please allows us time to assess and search for all possible resolution. We will inform you once a decision is made.
  3. If a resolution can’t be reached, we will escalate your complaint to our Senior management who will independently review your complaint and ensure all areas of resolution have been investigated and presented. Senior Management will inform you once a final decision is made.
  4. If, at the end of this process, where you disagree with the final decision we have made, this means a resolution could not be reached and we are at deadlock. We will provide you with a letter of deadlock and you can take further action by contacting our external dispute resolution scheme.
