What if you have a complaint?

RAA Insurance recognises, promotes and protects our customers' right to comment, compliment and complain. If you have a complaint, get in touch with us and we will work with you to resolve it.

Step 2 - Internal complaint resolution

Once we’ve received your complaint, we will acknowledge that we’ve received it within 1 business day (or as soon as practicable) and will provide you with a reference number.

If our customer service teams are unable to resolve your complaint, or you’re not satisfied with the outcome, your complaint will be escalated to a specialist case manager.

The specialist case manager will be your point of contact, will provide updates on the progress of your complaint every 10 days unless it resolved earlier or a different timeframe is agreed, and can answer any questions you have about the complaints process. We will take reasonable steps to investigate your complaint, including an assessment of the circumstances, and obtaining additional information if it is required.

Depending on the circumstances of your complaint, you will be provided with an outcome either verbally or in writing. We will provide you with a written outcome if:

  • your complaint takes longer than 5 business days to resolve.
  • you request a written response.
  • your complaint is about financial hardship.
  • your complaint is about a declined insurance claim or about the value of an insurance claim.
  • your complaint is not resolved to your satisfaction.

Where a written outcome is required, we will provide it within 30 calendar days of the date we received your complaint. If we need more time to investigate and resolve your complaint, we will write to you to explain why, provide the expected revised timeframe, and provide you with contact details for the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA).

Step 3 -Independent review

If you’re not satisfied with the outcome of your complaint, or we can’t resolve your complaint within 30 calendar days of the date which the complaint was made, you may contact the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA) which is an external and independent dispute service available to you at no cost. Some time limits apply to AFCA complaints so do check the AFCA website to see if time limits apply to your complaint:
