Where the Service Downtime standard is exceeded during a Monthly billing period, a Service Rebate paid at 10% of the monthly Service charge per hour or part thereof beyond the Service Downtime standard.	Where the Service Downtime standard is exceeded during a second monthly billing period, on the same individual Service, a Service Rebate paid at 30% of the monthly Service charge per hour or part thereof beyond the Service Downtime standard.	Where the Service Downtime standard is exceeded during a third monthly billing period, on the same individual Service, then a Service Rebate of one month’s Service charge will apply.

Notes:

• Period 2 - the month billing cycle following Period 1
• Period 3 - the month billing cycle following Period 2

Additionally, where the Services availability standard has not been met on the same individual Services for two or more consecutive measurement periods, NETCorp will provide one of the following options:

• A change in service type, where it is available, (using alternative technologies). The alternative service would be provided as equivalent as that of the existing service, or
• Subject to feasibility, the provision of a redundant service.

These options will be provided, at no incremental cost to the Customer, until such time as either the Services is able to meet service availability standards, or the contract ends.

Service Outage notifications relate to the arrangements for NETCorp or its suppliers to plan, conduct and manage:

• Routine and urgent maintenance events / Service Outages and to provide advance advice to the Customer; and

The notification of routine and urgent maintenance events will include advice of the planned events, the type of work to be undertaken, the individual Services to be affected, the extent of any maintenance period, the completion of events and the reporting of successfulness of the service outage.

The standards applicable to the provision of advice the Customer about planned service outages are not dependent on what Service Level is selected with regards to the Services. The standards:

• Routine maintenance – at least 2 weeks’ notice
• Urgent maintenance of up to ½ hour duration – at least 4 hours’ notice.

Our aim is to provide you with an efficient, accessible, fair and transparent process for handling your complaint.

If you are making a complaint by phone, the staff member you speak with will confirm you are lodging a complaint, record this, and attempt to resolve the matter immediately. If they are unable to do so, a manager will take responsibility for your issue.

If we receive a complaint via an email or letter, a case manager will contact you within 2 business days to confirm receipt of the complaint and let you know how your complaint will be resolved and how long it will take.

When you lodge a complaint with NETCorp IT Solutions, a specific Complaint Reference Number will be generated and provided to you. If you keep this number and refer to it when dealing with us, you can speed things up as your complaint details are kept filed against this number for immediate access and review.

We aim to assess, investigate and resolve all customer complaints as soon as we can, however this process may take up to 15 working days. If there is a delay in resolving your complaint, we will contact you as soon as possible after we become aware of it. If we believe it will take longer than 15 days to resolve your complaint, we will provide you with additional information about the delay including the cause of the delay, how long it will take to resolve and the options available to you for external dispute resolution.

If you’d like a status update on the resolution of your complaint, you can contact any of the phone numbers (during the hours indicated above) with your Complaint Reference Number and we will update you.

Please note that we will not implement a resolution, nor close your complaint until we have your agreement to do so. Your agreement may be either verbal or in writing.

Once you have agreed to a resolution, we will make the necessary actions within 10 working days of your acceptance unless otherwise agreed upon with you. Of course, if some actions are required on your part, then this may take longer depending on you.

If you’d like us to provide written confirmation of your complaint and the resolution, we’ll supply this to you upon request within 5 working days. We will also not cancel your service for the sole reason that you were unable to resolve a complaint with us.

However, if after careful consideration and appropriate internal escalation, we believe that there is nothing further we can do, and the complaint is frivolous or vexatious, we may decide to end our complaint resolution process with you. If this is the case, we will send you, within 5 working days, written notification of our decision and advise you of avenues available to you for pursuing the matter further via alternative third-party dispute resolution schemes.

We deal with the majority of complaints in the order in which they are received. However, there are certain complaints that are considered urgent; such as those involving financial hardship, service loss, or imminent service loss or disconnection. Urgent complaints will be acknowledged within one business day and we aim to resolve the urgent aspects of such a complaint within 2 business days, or let you know of any reason for a delay and a specific timeframe for resolution, and options available to you for alternative dispute resolution. Please let us know if you think your complaint is urgent.

We believe that NETCorp IT Solutions complaint handling process provides the quickest and most effective way for you to resolve your complaint. As a first step we would ask you to allow us the opportunity to exhaust all avenues in resolving your complaint to your satisfaction. However, if you are not satisfied with our resolution or the way we’ve handled your compliant, you are welcome to request that this be escalated with us. We will acknowledge this request within 5 working days for regular complaints, or 2 working days for urgent complaints. An escalated complaint will be handled by a dedicated senior complaint manager. After you have escalated this within NETCorp IT Solutions, should you remain dissatisfied, you may seek complaint mediation or further assistance from the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman (TIO) (by calling 1800 062 058 or visiting their website www.tio.com.au). You also have the opportunity to contact the Department of Fair Trading in your state or territory. Please note that you will need a Complaint Reference Number from NETCorp IT Solutions, and that the TIO or Department of fair trading will expect that you have attempted to resolve the complaint with NETCorp IT Solutions before lodging it with them.

A financial arrangement is generally structured around a payment plan to help you repay the debt at a rate you can manage. When we agree on a financial arrangement, we understand that repayments should be sufficient to cover expected future use of the service as well as providing continued reduction of debt at a reasonable level to ensure that you do not go further into debt under the arrangement.

To help us make an assessment we may need to ask you some questions about your financial hardship. We may also require documentation in support of the information you provide to us. Examples of this include a letter from your doctor if your hardship is due to illness, or a letter from a recognised financial counsellor indicating you have consulted them. If we will require such supporting information from you, we will advise you at the time we discuss your situation.

We understand that each instance of financial hardship is unique and therefore requires us to work with you to tailor a flexible solution to your needs. We also understand that this may require amending over time as your situation changes. As well as a financial arrangement or payment plan, some of the options we may discuss with you to assist you keep connected include (but are not limited to):

1. Placing a restriction on part of your service or specific services.
2. Transferring you to a pre-paid service.
3. Low cost interim options for you until you can continue with the original payments.

Whilst we will discuss a range of options for you, some of the common ones we will consider in order to assist you include:

1. Temporarily postponing or deferring payments.
2. Agreeing on an alternative arrangement plan.
3. Discounting or waiving certain administrative fees and charges.

Once a payment arrangement has been made, if we have concerns about your financial situation, we may suspend or disconnect your service; however disconnection of your service is used only as a last resort, and we will endeavour to work with you to ensure this does not happen. Should your circumstance change at any time whilst on a payment plan, please contact us as soon as possible so we can reassess your situation.

There are also a number of other ways we can help you to reduce a debt that we can discuss with you. For example, we can consider call barring, service restrictions and plan changes (where possible) and we can also look at ways you can better monitor your own spend.

Please remember that we are here to help you. If you have any complaints or concerns that you wish to raise with NETCorp IT Solutions about our Financial Hardship process or team, we operate an independent complaint handling team that are also here to assist you. For further details on this process and how to contact them, please see our complaints handling policy.
