Complaints Handling

How we will handle your complaint

We strive to provide an efficient, honest, fair and transparent standard of service at all times. We recognise that occasionally mistakes or misunderstandings can happen. If this is the case, we realise that you will want to let us know and may wish to make a complaint.

If you make a complaint we will make sure that your concerns are addressed as quickly as possible.

What should you do if you have a complaint?

You can register your complaint by lodging your complaint using the form below, or by writing to:

The Complaints Team
Marillion Consulting Trust
Suite 4, 20 Clifford St
Mosman 2088
Email: hello@insurance4earth.com.au

As soon as we receive your complaint we will take all possible steps to resolve it. You will receive a written response via email to your complaint within 15 working days, unless we agree a longer timeframe with you.

What should you do if you are not happy with our response to your complaint?

If you are not satisfied with our response to your complaint, you may wish to have the matter reviewed by our Internal Dispute Resolution Committee (“Committee”). The Committee is comprised of Senior Management of the company who have the experience and authority to decide on matters brought to the Committee.

If you wish to have your complaint reviewed by this Committee please respond to the initial response email and provide detailed reasons for requesting the review. This information will greatly assist the Committee in reviewing your claim or enquiry. Your complaint will then be treated as a dispute. You may also make a request for a review by the Committee by contacting:

The Chairperson IDRC
Marillion Consulting Trust
Suite 4, 20 Clifford St
Mosman 2088

A written response setting out the final decision of the Committee and the reasons for this decision will be provided to you within 15 working days of the date you advise us you wish to take your complaint to IDRC.

If we are unable to provide a written response setting out the final decision we will keep you informed of progress at least every 10 days.

If you are not satisfied with the finding of the Committee, or if we have been unable to resolve your complaint within 45 calendar days, you may be able to lodge a complaint with the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA). AFCA provides fair and independent financial services complaint resolution that is free to consumers. AFCA can make decisions with which AIG is obliged to comply. Its contact details are:

Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA)
GPO Box 3
Melbourne VIC 3001
Website: www.afca.org.au
Email: info@afca.org.au
Phone: 1800 931 678 (free call)

You should note that use of the AFCA scheme does not preclude you from subsequently exercising any legal rights, which you may have if you are still unhappy with the outcome. Before doing so however, we strongly recommend that you obtain independent legal advice.

If your complaint does not fall within AFCA’s rules, we will advise you to seek independent legal advice or give you information about any other external dispute resolution options (if any) that may be available to you.

Please be aware that, effective from 1 November 2018, AFCA replaced the former Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS). If you have any questions regarding this change, please contact AFCA on 1800 931 678. If you have a Product Disclosure Statement or other document that refers to FOS, please take into account this change when reviewing the relevant section referring to FOS.

    DUTY OF DISCLOSURE/ DUTY NOT TO MAKE A MISREPRESENTATION

    Before you enter into an insurance contract, you have a duty to tell the insurer anything that you know, or could reasonably be expected to know, that may affect the insurer's decision to insure you and on what terms. You have this duty until the insurer agrees to insure you. You have the same duty before you renew, extend, vary, or reinstate an insurance contract.

    For Personal, Domestic and Household insurance contracts, you have an additional duty to take reasonable care not to make a misrepresentation to the insurer. To ensure you meet your duty, your responses to the insurer's questions must be truthful, accurate and complete.

    IF YOU DO NOT TELL THE INSURER SOMETHING

    If you do not tell the insurer anything you are required to, they may cancel your contract, or reduce the amount they will pay you if you make a claim, or both. If your failure to tell the insurer is fraudulent, they may refuse to pay a claim and treat the contract as if it never existed.
