Taking things further
If things are not getting dealt with, you should take your concerns to the Area or Regional Service Manager.
If you are still not happy, take your concerns to the General or National Manager.
Going to someone outside IDEA Services or IHC
You can take your concerns to the Health and Disability Commissioner. It has advocates who can help you. These people are independent and provide a free service to people using health or disability support services. They help to resolve specific complaints.
