Complaints, compliments and suggestions

We want to hear what you have to say about our services. Your feedback will let us know what is important to you, as we continuously try to improve our services.

Making complaints can be hard, but it is important to speak up if you feel you have been treated unfairly, and especially if you do not feel safe.

DLGSC is committed to effective complaint handling and values the feedback you provide.

All feedback and complaints will be taken seriously, and we will do everything within our ability to resolve them.

We are open to receiving your feedback and you can do this via the below form or by calling us on 61 8 6552 7300.
