We are committed to providing the best possible service and strive for continuous improvement at every opportunity. Feedback is always welcome as a means of understanding the experiences of those in our care as well as that of other stakeholders.
We celebrate what we do well and we are always eager to receive comments and compliments about positive experiences that individuals may have had.
There may also come a time when an individual wishes to make a comment or complaint about something that did not go as well as expected. It is important that we hear about these experiences as well.
Feedback can be provided to us in a number of ways:
- Complete the ‘Please Let Us Know’ form located on site
- Speak with a senior staff member in person
- Make an appointment to speak with a manager
- Complete a feedback form online at https://achgroup.org.au/contact/feedback/
- Send a letter to PO BOX 646 Torrensville Plaza Torrensville SA 5031
- Telephone 1300 22 44 77 or email us at https://achgroup.org.au/contact/
We have a comprehensive process for managing complaints which includes a review of what happened, why it happened and what can be done to prevent it from happening again. The privacy and confidentiality of individuals is respected, and communication about progress occurs throughout.
We take customer satisfaction seriously, so in the unlikely events that a resolution can not be reached we may refer you to an independent advocate, such as the Aged Rights Advocacy Service, who can support you while we work through the issue(s).
