Feedback & Complaints

 

To provide general feedback, compliments or suggestions, please submit the online Feedback Form, or email us at info@pinn.com.au

We aim to provide the best service to our clients. However, if at any time you want to make a complaint, believe your privacy has been violated or are unhappy with our service for any reason, we encourage you to speak directly to a Postural Innovations Consultant in the first instance by following the steps below.


Step 1

Please get in touch with the Postural Innovations Consultant working with you to try and resolve any issue. This will give the Consultant a chance to hear what has happened and will attempt to address the issue immediately. If the matter cannot be resolved promptly or within 24 hours, it will be escalated to a Postural Innovations Director. Alternatively, you can use our online Feedback Form to formally lodge a complaint. A Postural Innovations Consultant can assist you to do this if you wish.


Step 2

If you are unhappy with how the matter was resolved by your Consultant, please phone the Postural Innovations Head Office on (03) 9361 2234 to speak with a Director who will aim to resolve the matter with you.


Step 3

If the matter requires further investigation, a Postural Innovations Director will conduct an inquiry and notify you of the outcome of the investigation as well as any further steps which need to be taken to resolve the issue. Your complaint will be formally acknowledged within two working days and you will be updated regarding its resolution. Postural Innovations aims to respond to all complaints and grievances as quickly as possible, and within 28 days from acknowledgement. If a complaint or grievance cannot be responded to in full within 28 days of acknowledgement, you will be provided with an update, which will include when a full response can be expected.


Step 4

If you feel a complaint has not been sufficiently or appropriately addressed, or you are unhappy with the outcome of the investigation or how the matter was resolved, you can seek further support from the Postural Innovations Directors, or alternatively through any of the agencies listed below.
