Tell us what matters to you:
Feedback, compliments or complaints

We would really like to know what you thought about the care, you, or your family/whānau received. This helps us to get things right.

If you have a problem you want sorted straight away, please talk with the staff caring for you or ask to speak with a manager in that area. 

Other ways you can tell us what matters to you:

Call 0800 000 443, or the consumer and whānau feedback lead 06 873 4877.


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.

If you need more help or are not happy with the way we dealt with your complaint you can contact:
