Complaint Handling Process

Complaints about IIA-Australia Policy and Procedures

The Institute of Internal Auditors – Australia (IIA-Australia) views complaints as an opportunity to learn and improve for the future and a chance to put things right for the person who has made the complaint. This policy relates to complaints about a service provided or action taken by IIA-Australia staff.

Our policy is:

  • To provide a fair complaints procedure that is clear and easy to use for anyone wishing to make a complaint
  • To publicise the existence of our complaints procedure so that people know how to contact us to make a complaint
  • To make sure everyone at the IIA-Australia knows what to do if a complaint is received
  • To ensure that complaints are resolved wherever possible and to repair relationships.
  • To respond as quickly as possible and generally within one week
  • To gather information that helps us to improve what we do.
