Concerns or complaints
If you are unhappy with our service, please let us know.
Our Patient Experience staff will contact you to confirm your complaint has been received. Formal complaints will be investigated within 30 working days as per the WA Health Complaints Management Policy 2020.
You will be given contact details should you have any questions throughout the process, and we will keep you informed if there are any delays with our investigation.
You will be informed of the outcome of your complaint by letter, unless indicated otherwise. You will then have the chance to respond or ask for further information if you wish.
If you are a patient, your complaint will not be included on your medical record. All information about your complaint is confidential and will only be discussed with those directly involved in the investigation.
Making a complaint or providing your feedback will not impact on any future care or treatment.
It will help us improve the way we care for you and others.
