COMPLAINTS

Do you have a concern regarding your Health Care?

The Dubbo/Plains Division of General Practice does not have the power or the authority to act on complaints about individual General Practitioners or general practices.

The Dubbo Dubbo/Plains Division of General Practice encourages consumers with complaints of this nature to take the matter to the GP or practice concerned. Talk to the GP, staff or Practice Manager.

Most health services, such as hospitals and community health centres, have an established complaints process that should be accessed for complaints about that organization.

Complaints processes are designed to allow feedback to the organization so that service quality can be continually improved.

If you are not happy with the outcome of your complaint, or your complaint is of a serious nature, you can direct your complaint in the first instance to …..

The Resolution Officer
Healthcare Complaints
Phone: 02 6885 7937

Are you concerned about Privacy Issues?

If you believe that your privacy rights have been infringed, you need to complain in writing to the GP or practice that you are concerned about and try to resolve your dispute directly. You will need to give them a reasonable time (usually 30 days) to respond to your complaint.

If you are not satisfied with the way they deal with your complaint, or if they do not respond, then you can complain to the Office of the Federal Privacy Commissioner.

If you have any questions about making a complaint or need help in making your complaint ring 1300 363 992 or visit the Office of the Federal Privacy Commissioner website on:

http://www.privacy.gov.au/

Complaints can be posted, faxed or emailed to:

Director, Compliance
Office of the Federal Privacy Commissioner

Fax: 02 9284 9666
