Our commitment
Support Match is committed to providing safe, respectful, and high-quality matching services in line with the NDIS Practice Standards and the NDIS Code of Conduct. If you have a concern, compliment, or complaint about our service, our workers, or how you've been treated, please tell us. Your feedback helps us improve, and you will not be disadvantaged for raising concerns.
How to provide feedback or make a complaint
Choose whichever option feels easiest:
You can complain anonymously
If you would prefer not to share your identity, you can still raise a concern with us. We'll investigate anonymous complaints to the extent we can, though we may not be able to provide you with a direct response.
Support to make a complaint
If you need help making a complaint, you can ask a family member, friend, advocate, or support coordinator to assist you. You can also contact a free independent NDIS advocate through the Disability Advocacy Finder.
What happens after you contact us
Acknowledgement
We confirm we've received your complaint and provide a reference number, along with the name of the staff member handling it.
Initial response
We contact you to discuss the concern in more detail and agree on how it will be handled.
Investigation & resolution
We investigate thoroughly, gather the facts, consult relevant parties, and propose a resolution. If more time is needed, we keep you updated every 7 days.
Outcome & follow-up
We explain what we found, what we're doing about it, and ask if you're satisfied with the outcome. Nothing closes without your acknowledgement.
If you're not satisfied
If you're not happy with how we've handled your complaint, you have the right to escalate to the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission, which is the independent body regulating NDIS providers.
