Dear Attorney-General

It appears that you passed my message to you (27/6/2022) about the NDIA's view of the AAT and what is legal on to the NDIA's complaints department. Please be aware that this is a completely pointless exercise. The NDIA's complaint section is there to exonerate the NDIA no matter what the NDIA does. They are incapable of recognising any form of problem or learning in any way from a mistake.

Please note that the response came from DSS, not from the NDIA. If anything, it should be referred to DSS, not the NDIA.

Is this really the best you can do?

This is what you can expect from us:

Investigate your complaint

A Complaints Officer will start investigating your complaint.

Discuss your complaint with you

Your Complaints Officer will contact you directly to discuss your complaint. This phone call may be from a private number. You will be asked some questions to confirm your identity, or confirm you have the participant’s consent to contact us on their behalf. Privacy is important to us and we can only share information with the participant, or their authorised representative or nominees.

Timeframe guarantee

We will aim to resolve your complaint within 21 days – a commitment we made to you in our Participant Service Charter. To make sure we can give you the best possible outcome, in some cases, it may take us longer to resolve your complaint, such as if it involves multiple issues. If your complaint is expected to take longer than 21 days to resolve, we will let you know why.

If you need crisis help, you should contact your local GP, hospital or mental health crisis team. You can also contact Lifeline on 13 11 14 or the Australian Federal Police on 131 444. In an emergency, always dial 000 (triple zero) immediately.

Thank you for taking the time to make a complaint and describe your experience with the NDIA.

We know how important it is for participants and the community to tell us when something hasn’t gone right, what we’re doing well, and suggestions for us to improve what we do.

We will use what we learn from your complaint to improve the NDIS.
