30 May 2013
This is the first session of PASC’s inquiry into complaints handling. It aims to set the background for future sessions and to cover the elements of good complaints handling; barriers that prevent individuals from making complaints; and how the Government compares against other sectors in how well it handles complaints.

- How complaints can be used to drive innovation and service improvement.
