Diversa Trustees Limited (Diversa) is the trustee of Simple Choice Super and works with different partners that help run Simple Choice Super. This means that when you make a complaint about Simple Choice Super, it may relate to a product or service provided by one of our partners or to products or services provided by both us and our partners.
Our partners assist in providing services to you in a number of ways. They may operate call centres to assist us in responding to your queries, manage websites providing you with information about our products or provide claims management services to help us pay benefits. For more information about how our partners assist us with Simple Choice Super please refer to the Simple Choice Super Product Disclosure Statement.
If your complaint relates to a product or service wholly provided by one of our partners, their complaints policy will apply to the complaint and not Diversa’s policy. However, if you are a member or beneficiary of Simple Choice Super, we will still work with the relevant partner to ensure your complaint is managed appropriately.
If your complaint relates to products or services that both we and our partners provide, then Diversa’s policy will apply, and we will work with the relevant service provider to ensure all of the issues you have raised in your complaint are managed appropriately.
If you are not satisfied with our internal dispute resolution (IDR) response, or we have not resolved your complaint within 45 days (or for death benefit distribution complaints within 90 days), you can lodge a complaint with AFCA.
