The Policy

Complaints received by The Tourism Group (TTG) are all taken seriously. We endeavour to investigate and resolve any issue objectively, thoroughly, and fairly.

It is the policy of TTG to address each complaint in a professional and timely manner to ensure that a mutually satisfactory outcome is achieved. TTG draws from issues raised through the complaints procedure to review our services where appropriate and practical as part of our own ongoing commitment to improvement.

The objective of our policy is to ensure:

  • Stakeholders are aware of our complaint lodgement and handling process
  • TTG’s staff understand our complaints handling process
  • Complaints are investigated promptly and objectively in considering all the circumstances, information and evidence arising from a complaint.
