Meditech takes all feedback and complaints very seriously and welcomes them as an opportunity to improve our services. We encourage open and honest communication. You can let us know what we have done well, where we need to improve and where we have made a mistake.

What can I give feedback about?

You can give compliments about anything we have done well or suggestions for how we can do something better.

What can I make a complaint about?

You have a right to complain to Meditech, or the relevant external body, regarding any issue or mistakes we may have made during the delivery of our services, or in connection with our services.

Your rights

We are committed to upholding your rights, including the right to:

• Make a complaint in writing or verbally to any contact person within Meditech you choose.

• Be free from any reprisal following a complaint, such as any change to, or cancellation of, services.

• Be supported to report your complaint to the relevant external body if you are not satisfied with the way we respond to a complaint.

• Be involved in decisions related to resolving a complaint.

• Having your privacy and confidentiality protected.

• Remaining anonymous if you choose.

Our complaints procedure

The manager investigating the complaint will discuss the details of the complaint with you, or if you prefer, your family, carer, or advocate, including the outcomes you would like to see.

You will receive an acknowledgment of the complaint within 5 days, which will include the expected time-frame for your complaint to be resolved.

If appropriate, we will conduct an investigation into the circumstances surrounding your complaint.

You will receive information on the outcomes of your complaint within 4 weeks and be given the chance to lodge an appeal or refer the complaint to an external body if you are dissatisfied with the resolution.

We will use your complaint to review our systems, policies and procedures to improve our services.

Our obligations

For all complaints made to us we will:

• Treat all complainants with dignity and respect.

• Resolve complaints, where possible to the satisfaction of the complainant.

• Apologise if we have made a mistake.

• Maintain records regarding your complaint.
