The Process Explained…
At Optimise Health and Wellness, we value your input and strive to provide the best possible service. We believe people have a right to speak up and your feedback, whether in the form of complaints, compliments, or suggestions, is crucial to the continuous improvement of our services. Feedback or complaints could be about how we provide our services, our facilities or the performance and conduct of our staff.
Here’s how you can share your thoughts with us:
1. Submitting Feedback:
Please note that in the first instance the practice manager or your assigned clinicians are the best people to assist you. If you want information about our services or are unsure about something, we encourage you to contact our office. Our support staff can help you with making this contact, but they are not responsible for passing on or processing complaints.
To submit feedback you can:
- Visit one of our offices or consult with your NDIS planner, local area coordinator, or early childhood partner.
- Email us at hello@optimisehealthandwellness.com.au
- Use our online Feedback and Complaints form.
- Call us at 1800 955 682.
- If you are deaf or hard of hearing, contact TTY on 1800 555 677 or the National Relay Service on 1800 555 727 and ask for 1800 955 682.
- For translation or interpretation services, call 131 450.
2. Online Feedback Form:

- Contacting you within two business days of acknowledgment.

4. Management of Feedback or Complaints:
- Upon submission, your concerns will be assigned to the appropriate member of our management team.
- Your complaint will be handled by a member of the management team who has not previously involved in your matter for impartiality.
- We may ask for additional information to better understand your concerns.
- If a staff member is involved, we will engage them, provide details, and seek their comments and relevant information. Transparency is paramount, and we will keep you informed of their response.
5. Ensuring Your Safety:
- To protect your privacy, we will confirm your identity before accessing and discussing personal information.
- If you are complaining on behalf of someone else, we’ll verify your authorization.

7. Disagreement with Outcome:
Please be assured that all complaints and feedback will be handled professionally and confidentially. However, if you find our resolution process unsatisfactory you can request that it be reviewed by another member of the management team who was not originally involved. If you are still not in agreement after this has occurred, or feel uncomfortable reaching out directly, you have the right to contact the NDIS Commission.
