Complaints and feedback

South Regional TAFE has a commitment to respond to your feedback, whether it is positive or negative.  

Good service is part of our business. We operate 12 campuses across the south of the State from Margaret River in the west, to Esperance in the east and as far north as Narrogin.  In each of our campuses our goal is to provide an outstanding service and sound processes to enhance your learning experience.  We value your compliments, suggestions and complaints.  These could be:

  • About a positive experience you have had
  • A comment or suggestion on how we can improve our services to you
  • A complaint if you are not satisfied with the service you have received, or feel you have not been treated fairly and reasonably.

Our complaints policy

Our Complaints Policies provide you with additional information on what will happen once you have lodged your complaint.  The following policies are in place to support the complaints process:
