The AAMI Consumer Appeals Service
What to do if you don’t agree with our decision
Here is how the AAMI consumer appeals service helps you if you are dissatisfied with the results of your dealings with AAMI.
1. Who do you talk to?
If you are unhappy with anything we have told you or done for you, please tell us. You can phone us on 13 22 44 or call in to an AAMI branch. Most times we will be able to sort the matter out to your satisfaction.
2. The AAMI Customer Ombudsman
However, if you are not satisfied with our response, you can ring, write to or email the AAMI Customer Ombudsman with the details. The AAMI Customer Ombudsman will respond to you within five working days of receiving your letter or email.
3. Appealing to the independent dispute resolution scheme
If you disagree with the AAMI Customer Ombudsman’s decision, you can appeal to the Financial Ombudsman Service. We will help you to do this.
The Financial Ombudsman Service is an independent industry dispute resolution scheme. You can contact the Service on 1300 780 808 local call cost or by email to info@fos.org.au. You can also visit the FOS website at www.fos.org.au.
There is no charge for this service.
4. Are any decisions binding on you?
You do not have to accept any decision AAMI or the FOS makes. You always have the option of seeking remedies elsewhere.
Any decision the AAMI Customer Ombudsman makes or the FOS makes is binding on AAMI, provided you also accept the decision.
