What happens if my feedback is a complaint?
When your complaint arrives we will let you know we’ve received it within five working days. If we have to let you know by mail, it may take a bit longer depending on where you live. During public holidays it may take longer for us to contact you.
If you have complained for a friend or family/whānau member we might need to ask for their permission before we can respond.
Normally, we will respond within 20 working days. During public holidays it may take longer for us to contact you.
