Making a compliment or complaint

CONNECT - Message from the Chief Executive

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. We strive to always provide you with great customer service.  An important part of achieving this is making sure we continually improve the services we provide.

Your compliments and complaints will go a long way to help us achieve this. By letting us know if we unfortunately didn't meet your expectations we can investigate what happened and improve how we operate.

See the DIT Customer Service Charter for 2016-2020 for more details about the objectives and outcomes of our work.

What you can do if you are unhappy with the outcome of your complaint

If you are unhappy with the outcome or with any aspect about how your complaint was handled, you can lodge a request for an ‘internal review’.

A senior officer will review the complaint details and the outcome provided.

We aim to conduct all internal reviews within 10 working days. Where this time frame is not possible, we will keep you up to date on the progress by contacting you by your preferred method of contact.

If you are unsatisfied with the outcome following the internal review, you can lodge an application for ‘External Review’ with the South Australian Ombudsman.

For more information read our Complaint Management Policy.

Matters concerning conduct and administration

Matters concerning the conduct and practice of public officers and public authorities in South Australian public administration, specifically corruption, misconduct and maladministration, can be reported via the Independent Commissioner Against Corruption (ICAC)

The Ombudsman is available to assist people who have complaints against the administrative actions of South Australian Government departments or agencies, and can be contacted via the Ombudsman SA website or by phoning (08) 8226 8699 or 1800 182 150 (country SA toll free).

If you have not attempted to resolve the issue with DIT, then the Ombudsman may request that you do so before it formally records and/or investigates your complaint.

Public Interest Disclosures

The new Public Interest Disclosure Act 2018 (PID Act) commenced on 1 July 2019, replacing the Whistleblowers Protection Act 1993.

The PID Act strengthens transparency and accountability in government and facilitates the appropriate disclosure of public interest information to certain persons or authorities. It provides protections for some persons who make an appropriate disclosure of public interest information in accordance with the PID Act and sets out processes for dealing with such disclosures.
