Europ Assistance Australia has adopted the complaint definition defined in accordance with ASIC’s Regulatory Guide, RG271: Internal Dispute Resolution. A complaint is defined as: (An expression) of dissatisfaction made to or about an organisation, related to its products, services, staff or the handling of a complaint, where a response or resolution is explicitly or implicitly expected or legally required.

Customers whose complaint remains unresolved, have the option to access the services of the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA), which is available to customers and third parties who fall within the AFCA Complaint Resolution Scheme Rules.
Customers may wish to take their complaint to the AFCA at any time, free of charge, and if we do not resolve the complaint within 30 calendar days after we initially receive a complaint. Under the AFCA’s rules, a customer’s complaint may be referred to us if it has not gone through our complaints process.
