Feedback and complaints
We are committed to ongoing improvement. If you have feedback about the BWC Program, you can contact complaints@dewr.gov.au. It’s recommended to read the Complaints Factsheet which outlines the department’s feedback process.
Any complaints about the BWC Program received through other avenues will be redirected to complaints@dewr.gov.au in the first instance.
If you have a complaint about a specific partnership project you are invited to send your complaint directly to the relevant project lead organisation. A list of project lead organisations is shown at Discover partnership projects. Any complaints about the partnership projects received through other avenues will be redirected to the project lead in the first instance.
The project lead is the grantee who holds the contract with the Commonwealth and is accountable for the delivery of the project, including memorandums of understanding and contracts with project partners and contractors or sub-contractors.
Each project lead will have their own complaint handling process which will be followed when responding to your complaint.
If you do not receive a satisfactory response to your complaint from the project lead, you are invited to send details to complaints@dewr.gov.au (see above).
