Customer Guidance

Our Complaints Management Policy and Customer Guidance (PDF) outlines the policy and processes we follow to manage and resolve your complaint.

When you make your complaint, the person you make your complaint to will attempt to resolve it at that time. If that's not possible, we'll attempt to resolve it as quickly as possible. There are maximum timeframes that apply to the resolution of complaints and these are summarised below and outlined in more detail in our Complaints Management Policy and Customer Guidance (PDF). The timeframes are summarised below:

  • Super complaints – within 45 days of receipt of your complaint. Longer timeframes apply to certain death benefit related complaints and complex complaints.
  • Advice complaints – within 30 days of receipt of your complaint.
  • Privacy related complaints – within 30 days of receipt of your complaint.

 

Rights and responsibilities

So that we can manage and resolve your complaint fairly, effectively and efficiently we have set out the rights and responsibilities of Mine Super and you in our Rights and Responsibilities (PDF) summary document. The rights and responsibilities explain that Mine Super and you have the right to be treated and the duty to treat each other with courtesy and respect, in a professional and fair way while your complaint is being managed and resolved.

Vulnerable customers

If you’re a vulnerable customer we have practices and processes to assist you with resolving your complaint. These are outlined on our Support for Vulnerable Customers page. We encourage you to tell us if you are a vulnerable customer.
