This document tells you about how to make a complaint or give feedback.

Elaa Care wants you to give us feedback or make a complaint if you are unhappy.

It is okay to complain if you are not happy. Tell us when you are upset about:

  • the supports you received
  • your support workers
  • Elaa Care

If you do not feel comfortable telling us about your complaint, you should tell someone you trust like your:

  • mum or dad
  • brother or sister
  • support worker.

Ask them to help you make a complaint.

Or you can get help from a professional, independent advocate to make a complaint or provide feedback to us.

We can help you find an advocate if you want.

Ask our manager in charge to help you. Call them on 0451328278.
