Raise A Complaint About Any

Energy and Utilities Provider

Can’t find who you’re looking for on the list below? You can still make a complaint.

Origin Energy

Origin Energy is a large energy retailer. Origin is the biggest supplier of electricity and the 2nd biggest supplier of gas to residential customers in the south-eastern part of Australia. Origin had the most customer complaints reported by the regulator in 2021-22 (over 20,000), but this number had dropped from almost 30,000 the year before. Origin is reliable at resolving complaints sent through Ajust.

Red Energy

Red Energy is a big energy retailer, supplying electricity and gas in south-eastern Australia. Red Energy is the 4th largest supplier of residential electricity in NSW, after the big 3 energy retailers. So it’s not surprising that Red Energy also had the most complaints reported in 2021-22 outside the big 3 companies. Only a relatively small number of complaints to Red Energy progressed to the ombudsman.

EnergyAustralia

EnergyAustralia is one of the biggest retailers of gas and electricity in Australia. There were over 18,000 complaints made to EnergyAustralia in 2021-22, a slight increase on the year before (according to reports from the regulator). EnergyAustralia also had the longest average call wait time of the big 3 retailers. EnergyAustralia consistently resolves complaints from Ajust.

What is the Airline Customer Advocate?

The Airline Customer Advocate (ACA) was established in 2012 by Australian airlines in response to a government white paper on the Australian airline industry. While presented as a customer service initiative, the ACA doesn’t actually have any authority to be able to independently evaluate customer issues. Learn more about why the ACA was presented with a Shonky Award by CHOICE in 2021 and what you need to know about resolving airline complaints.
