Customer Complaints & Resolution Process
Our Commitment to You
At AUZi®, we are dedicated to providing exceptional service to all our customers. When concerns arise, we have established a comprehensive complaints handling system designed to address your issues promptly, fairly, and transparently.
We are members of the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA), an independent external dispute resolution service recognized by the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC). This provides you with additional avenues for resolution should our internal process not meet your expectations.
Our Approach
Every complaint we receive is handled with care, ensuring our response is:
- Timely and effective – We work to resolve issues quickly
- Legally compliant – All procedures follow industry regulations and standards
- Equitable – We treat all parties with fairness and respect
How to Lodge Your Complaint
Step 1: Internal Resolution Process
Begin by contacting our dedicated Customer Resolution Team:
AUZi Customer Resolution Team
- Postal Address: Suite 211-212, 3 Sir John Overall Drive, Helensvale, QLD, 4212

What Happens Next
Once we receive your complaint, our Customer Resolution Team will:
- Acknowledge receipt within one business day (or 24 hours where possible)
- Investigate thoroughly – We examine all aspects of your concern impartially and professionally
- Assess the situation – We determine the validity of the complaint and appropriate remedial actions
- Provide resolution – We aim to resolve most complaints within 10 business days
If your matter requires additional investigation or involves our underwriting partners, we will:
- Keep you informed of progress
- Provide a comprehensive written response within 30 calendar days
- Clearly explain our decision and the reasoning behind it
Note: In some cases, we may need to forward your complaint to the relevant underwriter for further review. You will receive only one final response outlining the resolution, regardless of which party provides it.
Potential Processing Delays
Occasionally, complex matters may require additional time. If delays occur, we will:
- Contact you directly to explain the circumstances
- Issue a formal delay notification
- Inform you of your right to escalate to AFCA
- Provide AFCA contact information
