Appeal a financial assessment decision

If you disagree with your financial assessment result or can't afford to pay, you can discuss this with us or lodge a formal complaint.

Ask for a review

If you think the amount you have been asked to pay is unfair, wrongly calculated or you cannot afford the payments, ask for a review.

We will look again at the information you provided and take into account any new information you send to us.

We will check to see if the charging policy has been applied correctly.
