We Take All Feedback and Complaints Seriously

We aim to resolve all concerns fairly, quickly, and efficiently. Any issue that cannot be resolved easily and informally is treated as a formal complaint.

Bendy Buddha is required to have a complaints procedure in place for patients, whānau, or their representatives.

Our Complaints Policy

Under Right 10 of the Health and Disability Services Consumers’ Rights (1996), every person has the right to make a complaint about a health service.

Bendy Buddha follows a Complaints Policy that outlines the process, the required timeframes, and the information we must provide to you throughout the complaints process.

How to Make a Complaint

When Will I Hear Back?

  • We will acknowledge your complaint within 5 working days.
  • All complaints are investigated thoroughly and respectfully.
  • A response will be sent within 10 working days.
  • If more time is needed, we will let you know and provide an updated timeframe.
