Contact your regulatory authority

The Regulatory Authority (RA) in your state or territory is responsible for approving providers and services, assessing and rating services, ensuring compliance of services, and investigating complaints.

If you have any concerns with your service, read our factsheet on 'Raising concerns with your service' for tips to effectively communicate them. If you're unable to reach a satisfactory result with them, you can contact the regulatory authority for your state/territory.
