If you have a complaint, you should first contact Fund’s Enquiries and Complaints Officer. Enquiries can be made by telephone on the number shown below or in writing (including email) to the address below. We will generally reply to your enquiry within 28 days. However, sometimes further time is required for more complicated matters. If we need more time we’ll let you know.
The matter will be investigated, and we will endeavour to advise you of our decision within 45 days of receipt of the complaint, however, complicated complaints may take longer to respond to. Please note that under current superannuation legislation the trustee has up to 90 days from receipt of the complaint to provide a response, however it is Aracon’s policy to deal with complaints in a timely manner. Complaints will be dealt with in accordance with Trustee’s Privacy Policy.
Where no decision has been made within 90 days of a complaint, the eligible person may provide a written request to the Trustee requesting reasons for the non-decision. The Trustee must provide a response detailing the reasons for non-decision within 28 days of this request.
