Complaints Management Policy for children and young people

Policy
The Department of Communities wants to hear from children and young people if there is anything that makes you feel unsafe, unhappy or worried about.
Last updated:

A complaint is a way of telling the Department of Communities (Communities) that something has not been done well and needs to be fixed or improved. A complaint can also be where Communities has not provided a service.

This document explains what children and young people can do to have their complaints responded to by Communities.

Communities will try and resolve or fix your complaint:

  • at the local office (the District office with your Case Manager, Team Leader and District Director)
  • at head office (the Complaints Management Unit)
  • by assisting you to contact the Ombudsman Western Australia who assists children and young people to resolve or fix complaints.
