How to make a complaint

If you have a concern about Gallagher, please contact your broker or the manager of your local branch or team, explain the issues that you are dissatisfied with and the outcome you are seeking. If your concerns are complex, it is preferred that you put them in writing to us.

If your broker or branch manager is unable to resolve your complaint within a few days, we will refer it to the Complaints Officer, who will review the complaint.

You can also refer your complaint to the Gallagher Brokerage Complaints Officer at any time:

Phone: 1800 068 000
Email: complaints@ajg.com.au or privacy@ajg.com.au (for privacy related complaints).

When we receive a complaint, we will acknowledge it in writing and we will also endeavour to provide you with a decision within 30 days of your complaint. However if your complaint is complex and we think we will need more than 30 days to resolve it, we will contact you to agree an alternative timeframe.
