Complaint Process

How We Do Our Work

 

Our system of triage and early resolution ensures that most complaints are resolved quickly and informally, through conversations or meetings. However, more complex complaints, especially those involving more than one health sector organization, can take more time and, if the matter cannot be resolved, it could require an investigation.

 

Step 1: First, we make sure you’ve come to the right place

Step 2: You provide your complaint in writing

Step 3: We review your complaint

Step 4: We listen to all sides and try to resolve your complaint

Step 5: We may conduct an investigation

Step 6: We share our decision
