Patient Feedback and Complaints

Burnside Cosmetic Clinic is committed to providing safe, high-quality, and ethical healthcare services in accordance with the RACGP Standards for General Practices and the National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards.

We recognise the importance of patient feedback and have a formal complaints management and resolution process in place to ensure concerns are addressed promptly, fairly, and transparently.

Making a Complaint or Providing Feedback

Patients, carers, or family members are encouraged to raise any concerns regarding clinical care, professional conduct, safety, communication, billing, or any aspect of their experience at the clinic.

Complaints and feedback may be submitted in writing via email to:

  • Acknowledged in a timely manner

We aim to resolve concerns at the clinic level wherever possible.
