Our complaint stories and case studies provide a snapshot of the types of complaints and enquiries our office receives. We’ve found this can help people better understand what we do and the different types of outcomes we achieve.

To maintain confidentiality when we share stories on our website and in our publications, we do not use real names and remove any information that could identify someone. We may sometimes include information such as a person’s profession or cultural background if it is needed for the matter to be understood. Given Ahpra and the Boards are identifiable in our case studies, we request Ahpra review the facts of each story prior to publication. All images we use are illustrative only and do not picture anyone involved in the matter.

We are committed to protecting personal information collected or held by our office. Our privacy and confidentiality page provides more information about how we use and share person information. Please contact us directly if you have any questions or concerns.
