If you have a complaint about a Shannons branded product, about how we collect, use or disclose your personal information or about a privacy related issue such as refusal to provide access or correction, please use our complaints process so that we can help. It is important to follow the complaint handling process in order to resolve your complaint effectively and efficiently.
Step 1. Let us know
If you would like to make a complaint, please let us know by contacting the relevant department as they may be able to resolve the complaint for you. If not, the staff member will refer you to a Manager or their delegate and they will attempt to resolve the complaint. A response is usually provided to you within 5 business days. You can contact us by using the Complaints Contacts listed below.
Step 2. Review by our Internal Dispute Resolution (IDR) Team
If you are not satisfied with the outcome of the business review you can request the complaint be referred to the IDR Team for review or you can contact them directly. Should additional information be required from you, we will contact you to discuss. The IDR team will usually contact you with a decision within 25 business days of receiving your complaint.
