How to make an enquiry

The Commission deals with complaints about health services provided in New South Wales, Australia. The Commission is impartial and acts to protect the public health and safety.

If you are concerned about a health service provided to you, talk to your provider as soon as possible. In most cases the health service provider will try and resolve the concerns and this is often the fastest and most effective way to address any issues.
