Complaints / Dispute Resolution

What do I do if I have a complaint?

Any complaints about any goods or services paid for using the POLi service should be resolved directly with the supplier of those goods and services.

However, if you have a complaint about the POLi service itself, you can contact Centricom by following the steps detailed below.

To clarify your rights in using the POLi service, we recommend you carefully read our Terms and Conditions. You can then decide if you wish to raise a complaint.

Step 1: Contact the Centricom Helpdesk

To initiate a complaint about the POLi service you should initially contact our helpdesk. You can do this by:

clicking here or
writing to or calling: Customer Services, Centricom Pty Ltd, Level 1, 600 Chapel Street, South Yarra, Victoria 3141 Australia. Phone: (03) 8601 5900.

We will respond to most, but not all, emails within one business day and to all emails within three business days. If we cannot immediately resolve the problem, we will give you an estimate of the time to resolve and the procedure we intend to follow. Within 14 days of receiving your complaint, we will either advise you of the outcome of our investigation or we will advise the status of our investigation and if possible provide an estimate as to the amount of time it will take to resolve your complaint.

Step 2: Escalate to Senior Management

If you are still unsatisfied with our response or your complaint is about one of our Helpdesk staff, you can escalate your complaint directly with Centricom's senior management. To do so click here.
