NDIS-Compliant Feedback & Complaints Management

Log every complaint, track every resolution, and produce a complete register for your NDIS auditor - always current, never scrambled together the night before an audit.

01WHAT IT IS

What is Feedback & Complaints Register?

AuditCore's Feedback and Complaints Register is your NDIS-compliant system for recording, tracking, and resolving all feedback and complaints from participants, families, workers, and external stakeholders. Every entry captures who raised the complaint, the type (complaint, feedback, compliment, or suggestion), a detailed description, who received it, the date, and the full resolution pathway. Serious complaints can be escalated through a documented escalation process. Every resolved complaint automatically generates a CI Register entry — closing the improvement loop from complaint through to documented learning and system change. The register is always current, always formatted correctly, and always ready for audit — no more scrambling to compile complaint records the week before audit.

02WHY IT MATTERS

Why It Matters

Practice Standard 1.4 requires providers to have a documented system for receiving, recording, and responding to feedback and complaints — and auditors expect a populated register with dated resolutions and evidence of improvement actions. This is one of the simplest things to get right, but providers consistently fail it by managing complaints informally (verbally resolved, nothing written down) or by keeping records in spreadsheets that are never maintained. A provider who cannot produce a complaints register during audit receives an immediate non-conformance — even if every complaint was resolved satisfactorily at the time. AuditCore makes compliance effortless: every complaint gets logged, tracked, and linked to a CI entry automatically.

03HOW IT WORKS

How AuditCore Helps

Log each complaint or feedback item in AuditCore — capturing reporter details, type, description, who received it, and the date. Track its status through Open, In Progress, and Resolved. When resolving, document the resolution outcome, the date, and any escalation actions taken. AuditCore automatically creates a CI Register entry from every complaint, ensuring your continuous improvement cycle is documented from end to end. For NDIS Commission reporting or internal governance, export the full register to Excel — filtered by type, date range, or status — in the format auditors expect. Serious complaint flags alert management immediately. Historical data gives you pattern analysis — identifying recurring issues that need systemic attention rather than one-off resolution.
