Complaints, Service and Feedback

How we handle complaints

We define a complaint to be an expression of dissatisfaction made to or about Qantas Travel Insurance, related to our products, services, employees or the handling of a complaint, where a response or resolution is explicitly or implicitly expected or legally required.

There are established procedures for dealing with complaints and disputes. These services are free to all policyholders and may be of assistance, should the need arise.
