Complaints and appeals

Aldridge State High School, as an RTO, has a complaints and appeals policy specific to its RTO operations.

A complaint can be made to the school RTO regarding the conduct of:

• the school RTO, its trainers, assessors or other school RTO staff
• students of the RTO
• any third parties providing services on behalf of the school RTO (if relevant).
  

Complaints may be made to any member of staff.

An appeal can be made to Aldridge SHS to request a review of a decision, including assessment decisions.

Appeals should be made to the trainer/assessor in the first instance, but can also be made to Heads of Department or the RTO Manager.

Aldridge SHS will ensure that the principles of natural justice and procedural fairness are adopted at every stage of the complaints and appeals process. All complaints and appeals are heard and resolved within 60 calendar days of receipt.

If Aldridge SHS considers that more than 60 calendar days are required to process and finalise the complaint or appeal, the complainant or appellant will be informed of the reasons for the extended timeframe in writing and will be regularly updated on the progress of the matter.

If the processes fail to resolve the complaint or appeal, a review by an independent party will be provided if requested.
