Honan will acknowledge your complaint within one (1) business day of receiving your complaint. Honan will work with you to resolve your complaint as quickly as possible.

Except in the case of a complaint about a declined claim, the value of a claim or about financial hardship, if Honan is able to resolve your complaint to your satisfaction within five (5) business days after receiving it, you will not receive a written response to your complaint unless you have asked for a response in writing.

If your complaint cannot be resolved within five (5) business days, your complaint will be referred for further review and investigation by Honan’s Complaints Team.  Honan will keep you updated as your complaint is investigated and will provide progress updates to you at least every ten (10) business days.

Honan will make a decision in relation to your complaint within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving your complaint.

If Honan is unable to make a decision in relation to your complaint within thirty (30) calendar days because resolution of your complaint is particularly complex or there are circumstances beyond Honan’s control, in which case Honan will provide you with the reasons for the delay.

You have the right to take your complaint to the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA) (subject to AFCA’s rules on whether it can deal with your complaint) if Honan is unable to make a decision in relation to your complaint within thirty (30) calendar days. You may also report any alleged breaches of the Code to the Insurance Brokers Code Compliance Committee (IBCCC)
