When we might not respond to your complaint

We are committed to being accessible and responsive to all customers who approach us for assistance.  At the same time, we also have an obligation to provide a safe and healthy workplace for our employees and recognise that there may be an element of risk when dealing with some customers.

On rare occasions, some customers may behave in an aggressive, intimidatory or potentially violent way, or their demands may pose an unreasonable administrative burden on QBCC resources. 

In this instance, we reserve the right to take appropriate action to manage a customer's impact on the wellbeing or safety of our staff or the organisation by considering imposing access restrictions or alternative service arrangements.

For further information, please refer to our Customer engagement management policy (PDF, 368KB).

How we handle your personal information

The QBCC must comply with the provisions under the Right to Information Act 2009 and Information Privacy Act 2009.

The personal information obtained from your feedback will only be used to resolve the feedback. External reporting on feedback will not contain any personally identifiable information.

The QBCC Integrity and Complaints Branch will confidentially investigate serious complaints, and details of the allegations and investigations will be restricted to the appropriate investigators.

When outcomes are provided to customers who lodge a complaint, we will strive to achieve a balance between compliance with our legislative obligations and affording the privacy of individuals involved to the greatest practicable extent.
