Escalation

If we are unable to resolve your issue or wish to make a complaint about the manner in which your application has been processed, you can escalate the complaint to the Industry Complaints Commissioner (ICC).

The principal role of the ICC is to provide the public and members of the aviation community with an identifiable and easily accessible mechanism through which complaints can be made about the decisions, administrative actions or services provided by CASA staff, delegates or authorised people.

The ICC will provide complainants with meaningful, timely and effective responses to complaints. The ICC has the power to determine if the actions were wrong, unjust, unlawful, discriminatory or unfair.
