We welcome your feedback, both positive and negative. It helps us provide you with a better service that meets our vision of healthy kids, healthy communities.
Sharing a compliment
We love to hear when one of our staff or teams have gone above and beyond when caring for your child. All compliments are shared with the staff member or team mentioned, and sometimes we share them on social media (with your permission!).
Nominate a CAHS staff member
If you feel a CAHS staff member has shown exceptional performance in the demonstration of the CAHS values of compassion, collaboration, equity, respect, excellence and accountability, you can nominate them for a Stars of CAHS Award.

Making a complaint
Speak to someone first
We encourage you to discuss your concerns directly with the person, their manager, ward or department first. It’s the quickest and easiest way to resolve an issue.
Still concerned?
If you don’t feel like your issue has been addressed, you can use one of the ways to give feedback below through our Child and Family Engagement team.
What we will do with your feedback
Respond
Once we have received your feedback, we may contact you to talk to you about your experience. All compliments are fed back to the relevant areas and shared with staff. All complaints are acknowledged within five working days, investigated and responded to within 30 working days. If there is a further delay due to the complexity of your feedback, we will let you know.
