Feedback, compliments and complaints

We want to hear what you have to say about our services. Your feedback will let us know what is important to you, as we continuously try to improve our services.

The Department of Creative Industries, Tourism and Sport (CITS) values the feedback you provide and is committed to effective complaint handling.

Making complaints can be hard, but it is important to speak up if you feel you have been treated unfairly, and especially if you do not feel safe.

All feedback and complaints will be taken seriously, and we will do everything within our ability to resolve them.

You can provide feedback, complaints and suggestions using the form below or by calling us on 61 8 6552 7300.

Complaints process

  1. We will contact you within 10 working days (or 3 working days for children and young people) to let you know how we are handling your complaint and request any further information that we require.
  2. We may need to do more investigation, and our staff will ask if you would like regular updates while we do this. If you don’t want regular updates, that's okay.
  3. We will try to resolve the matter within 60 working days (or 15 working days for children and young people).
  4. When we have an outcome, we will contact you to explain what happened.
  5. If you are not happy with the outcome of your complaint, you can contact the Ombudsman’s office. Information about this will be provided to you.
