The Complaints Resolution and Referral Service' (CRRS) and the 'National Disability Abuse and Neglect Hotline' (the Hotline) are now being operated by a new provider, Workfocus Australia.

The CRRS assists with the resolution of complaints from users of Australian Disability Enterprises (ADEs), Advocacy services and Disability Employment Services (DES) funded by the Australian Government. 

The service was established to complement internal disputes resolution mechanisms, by providing an independent complaints option with a focus on facilitating and encouraging local resolution of issues between a service user and service provider, or referral of problems to a more suitable body or jurisdiction where appropriate.

The Hotline was established to provide a nationally accessible telephone service to report abuse and neglect of people with disabilities in Australian Government and state and territory government funded services, and to refer the reports appropriately.

Visit the CRRS and Hotline websites for more information. The freecall 1800 880 052 number remains the same.
