How you can make a complaint and how they are handled
If you have any concerns or wish to make a complaint in relation to
our products, our services or your insurance claim, please let us know
and
we will attempt to resolve your concerns in accordance with our
Internal Dispute resolution procedures. Please contact us in the
first instance by:
- calling us on 1300 307 072; or
- emailing us at insurance@pi-plus.com.au
- writing to us (PO Box 2230, MT Waverley, VIC 3149)
We will acknowledge receipt of your complaint and do our outmost to resolve the complaint to your satisfaction within 10 business days.
If we cannot resolve your complaint to your satisfaction, we
will escalate your matter through our internal dispute resolution (IDR)
process, or you can contact them directly as follows:

Our IDR team will keep you informed of the progress at least every

If a final decision is not provided to you within 30 calendar days, our IDR team will inform you before the end of that period of the reasons for the delay.
You may refer your complaint to the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA) if your complaint is not resolved to your satisfaction within 30 calendar days of the date on which you first made the complaint or at any time. AFCA can be contacted as follows:

Your complaint must be referred to AFCA within 2 years of the final decision, unless AFCA considers special circumstances apply.
For policies after the 1st of August,
if your
complaint is not eligible for consideration by AFCA, you may be referred
to the Financial Ombudsman Service (UK) if appropriate, or you
can
seek independent legal advice. You can also access any other external
dispute resolution or other options that may be available to you.
