We will acknowledge your complaint at the time of receipt, typically within one business day. Our aim is to resolve all complaints as soon as possible, and if we are not able to resolve your complaint within 5 business days, our team will investigate the complaint and provide a response to you within the timeframes set out below. Where an error (on our part) is identified during our investigation, we will work to rectify the issue promptly.
Our timeframe for providing a response depends on the type of complaint we receive as set out in the table below.
Type of complaint
Our response timeframe
Complaints relating to the Super Fund (Trustee related)

If we are unable to resolve your complaint within these timeframes, we will let you know in writing including the reasons for the delay.
We will work to accommodate differing communication needs, such as a hearing impairment or linguistic diversity, to ensure that the feedback process is accessible to all. This can include working with a third party you have nominated to represent you.
