What we aim to do when you make a complaint


When you call Telstra, the Consultant that answers your call will aim to resolve your issue with you on the spot. We aim to acknowledge emails and letters within one business day of receipt.

If we need to investigate your issue further, we aim to resolve the matter, or communicate to you an action plan, within five business days.

While your issue is being investigated, we will provide you with updates of our progress so that you are aware of what is happening with your complaint.

We will aim to close the matter within twenty business days of you raising it and keep you informed of the outcome.

If you would like further investigation from Telstra


If you are not satisfied with the resolution or the investigation of your complaint it will be escalated to the next level of management, or a Case Manager in a specialised customer relations area. The Manager of your complaint will deal with you personally to discuss your complaint and the resolutions you have been offered.
