DSS Feedback and Complaints

Where can you provide feedback or a complaint to the Department of Social Services (DSS)

DSS encourages all clients to provide feedback. Making a complaint, giving a compliment or offering a suggestion can help DSS improve its services.

If you have an enquiry or complaint about an issue that relates to another Department or Agency, we suggest you contact that agency in the first instance. Contact details are below.
