Customer advocacy

 

At Westpac, we have established the office of the Customer Advocate to:

  • Champion the customer cause and thereby ensure we try to think like a partner when it comes designing our processes, products and services and
  • Be an internal ombudsman in relation to complaints
Customer Advocate
As the internal ombudsman, the Customer Advocate is the custodian of the Westpac problem resolution process, the ultimate gatekeeper for an issue that cannot be handled through the resolution process and the final decision maker in relation to a particular complaint at Westpac. Of course, customers retain their right to pursue their complaints externally, for instance to the Banking & Financial Services Ombudsman.

The Customer Advocate is tasked to remain independent and to make decisions based on fairness.

Contact the Customer Advocate via:
  • Email: customeradvocate@westpac.com.au
  • Telephone: 1300 301 977
  • Mail: GPO Box 5265, Sydney NSW 2001

Systemic issues
The Customer Advocate, sometimes with the assistance of the Customer Committee, is also responsible for identifying to Westpac appropriate resolutions for the group of retail customers affected by a systemic issue.

A systemic issue is an ongoing problem due to a flawed process or procedure which will affect other customers in a similar way to those who have complained.
