Reports and Complaints
The use of the terms report and complaint can be quite confusing at times. A report/complaint can be received by UWA in many ways including:
- direct contact via phone calls or in person;
- via email or other electronic methods;
- in writing by letter or via our online reporting form; or
- in reports made by staff, students or UWA Security.
What these all have in common is that a person or an agency is letting us know that something has happened and there is usually an expectation that UWA will investigate the matter.
One of the main differences between a report and a complaint is that in a complaint, the complainant is usually the person directly affected and they are usually seeking some type of resolution.
Irrespective of what it is called, the University takes all reports/complaints seriously. Listed below are the different types of reports/complaints that can be made and how to make them.
