Honan will acknowledge your complaint within one (1) business day of receiving your complaint. Honan will work with you to resolve your complaint as quickly as possible.

Except in the case of a complaint about a declined claim, the value of a claim or about financial hardship, if Honan is able to resolve your complaint to your satisfaction within five (5) business days after receiving it, you will not receive a written response to your complaint unless you have asked for a response in writing.

For complaints relating to the Policy other than claims, Honan Insurance Group will direct Your complaint to the insurer HDI Global Specialty SE – Australia for resolution. The contact details for making a complaint with HDI Global Specialty SE – Australia directly, are set out below.

If your complaint cannot be resolved within five (5) business days, your complaint will be referred for further review and investigation by Honan’s Complaints Team.  Honan will keep you updated as your complaint is investigated and will provide progress updates to you at least every ten (10) business days.

Honan will make a decision in relation to your complaint within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving your complaint.

If Honan is unable to make a decision in relation to your complaint within thirty (30) calendar days because resolution of your complaint is particularly complex or there are circumstances beyond Honan’s control, in which case Honan will provide you with the reasons for the delay.
