  • We require our licensed members to have an internal complaint policy. This means they should be given an opportunity to resolve matters through their own internal complaints process. If you have not already raised your complaint directly with the licensed member, you must do so before raising the compliant with AAT.

  • AAT are not able to investigate complaints of this nature.

  • We are unable to adjudicate on fee disputes or complainants seeking financial redress. Please note that AAT does not award compensation as part of this process. In this instance, we recommend you seek your own legal advice.

  • We'll not consider complaints submitted in stages. All complaints and evidence should be submitted to us at the same time. We'll not be able to help you if you don’t have documentary evidence to support your allegation.

  • If your issue relates to a criminal matter, you should ask the police (or other relevant authority) to investigate it first but please let us know you’ve reported the matter.

  • If you think you have a right to make a civil claim to seek compensation, then you should seek legal advice immeadiately and advise us of any outcome.
