Making a Complaint
If you have any complaints about a financial service provided to you by a Finwest adviser, you should take the following steps:
1. Contact your adviser and tell them about your complaint.
2. If your complaint is not satisfactorily resolved within five working days, or you would prefer not to contact your adviser, please contact the Complaints Manager at Finwest using the Contact us form on our website, by email at clients@finwest.com.au or by mail to PO Box 674, South Perth WA 6951.
3. Finwest will endeavor to resolve all complaints within 30 days of lodgment. Should there be special circumstances relating to the complaint, such that it is not reasonable for the complaint to be resolved in that time, Finwest will inform you of the reasons for the delay. We may request an extension of time up to a total of 90 days.
4. If Finwest has not responded within 30 days or you are not satisfied with the response, you can lodge a dispute with the Australian Financial Complaints Authority. This service is provided to you free of charge.
