  • If you are unhappy about the way a Victorian family, child or relationship service has treated you, you have a right to complain.
  • As a first step to resolving any complaint, it is a good idea to try to work it out directly with the person or organisation involved.
  • Complaints about any practitioner in Victoria who claims to be offering a healthcare service can be made to the Victorian Health Complaints Commissioner.
  • Complaints about how Child Protection has treated you or your family can be made by contacting the Department of Health & Human Services’ Complaints, Integrity and Privacy Unit.
  • If you cannot resolve your child protection complaint directly with the department, you can contact the Victorian Ombudsman.
