Essential Business Services (Australia) Pty Ltd priority is to make it easy for you to have any issues brought to our attention and dealt with in a timely manner with a focus of achieving a satisfactory outcome for all.
The first step is to bring the issue to the attention of your agent or broker who is handling your business and see if they can advise a suitable resolution.
In the event you are not satisfied with the outcome, you can make a complaint to us by:
~ telephone (during business hours): call 1300 549 022 and request to speak to Paul Nunn.
~ email: pauln@essentialbusinessservices.com.au
~ post: 91 Watt Rd, Mornington VIC 3931
Please provide as much detail as possible about your complaint, including the desired outcome you would like.
If you need help to describe or send your complaint, or if you would like to discuss your concerns
informally first, please feel free to contact us.
Our complaints officer will oversee the complaints process.
This person is responsible for working with you and relevant agency staff, to ensure that the issues you raise are fully examined and that your complaint is handled in accordance with this process.
We will treat the process, and all the details of your complaint, in strict confidence. If we need to discuss any issues arising from your complaint with someone outside of the agency, we will obtain your consent first.
We will always try to give you a fair opportunity to explain your case. You should make your initial complaint as clear as possible. Sometimes we may want to meet you in person to discuss your concerns and try to find a satisfactory solution.
We will try to resolve your complaint as soon as possible. However, how long this takes will depend on the nature and complexity of the issues you have raised.
We will send you acknowledgment of receipt of the complaint within two business days. We will give you an estimate of how long it may take us to deal with the matter and we will try to finalise the matter within five business days.
If we decide that your complaint is justified, we will then decide what action we should take in response.
We will always try to match our response to the nature of your complaint and your desired outcome,
but this may not always be possible.
Some of the things we might do include:
~ take steps to rectify the problem or issue you have raised
~ give you additional information or advice so you can understand what happened or how we have dealt with it.
~ take steps to change our policies or procedures if your complaint identifies a problem in the way we are doing things.
Sometimes it will not be possible to resolve a complaint to everyone’s satisfaction, and you might want to escalate the matter to Consumer Affairs Victoria (CAV).
CAV can deal with enquiries and complaints about real estate agents, business brokers and offers information, advice and dispute resolution services on a business sale and Real Estate issues.
You can telephone CAV on 1300 73 70 30, Monday to Friday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm to discuss your complaint.
Unless there are exceptional circumstances Consumer Affairs Victoria cannot deal with any dispute concerning commission or outgoings unless it is given notice of the dispute within 28 days of the Client receiving an account for, or notice that the Agent has taken the amount in dispute, whichever is later.
