What to do if I have a Complaint?

​

InterPrac Financial Planning is committed to providing quality financial services in an efficient and honest manner. We take all complaints seriously, and have developed a formal complaints handling process to deal with any complaints from our clients. A copy of the “Complaints Handling Policy and Procedures” is available from your Adviser or InterPrac Financial Planning. If you do have a complaint:

 

1. Please contact your Adviser directly to discuss the issue and seek a resolution.

​

If the complaint cannot be resolved by talking to your Adviser, please contact InterPrac Financial Planning Head Office directly:

 

The Complaints Officer InterPrac Financial Planning Pty Ltd

Level 8, 525 Flinders Street Melbourne Vic 3000

Phone: (03) 9209 9777

 

We will acknowledge the complaint within two business days.

 

 

2. We will then investigate the complaint and respond to you within 45 days. We will notify you if the complaint is more complex in nature and likely to require an extension to thoroughly investigate the complaint and resolve it.  

 

3. If InterPrac Financial Planning is not able to resolve your complaint to your satisfaction, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Australian Financial Complaints Authority, a dispute resolution service for the financial planning industry.
