How to submit a complaint with IAG
With IAG, complaints move better when the route is right, the issue is named early, and the remedy request is concrete.
- Start in the right place: Use the official contact form and the complaints email for IAG so the complaint lands with a team that can actually review it.
- Anchor the facts: Include your policy number, claim number, documents, photos, and prior emails and explain what went wrong with home, car, and travel insurance.
- Name the complaint theme: Say if the issue is about claim processing times, customer service, and IAG continues to strive for improvement in these areas so it is routed properly.
- Ask for a concrete outcome: Spell out whether you want a claim review, payment correction, refund, reassessment, or a clear written explanation.
- Keep it on one thread: Ask for a written reference or acknowledgement and keep all follow-up in the same complaint trail.
The first response from IAG often turns on how clearly the issue and evidence were set out when the complaint was lodged.
- Acknowledgement: You should get a case number, email, or some written sign that IAG has logged the complaint.
- Review: The business will usually look at your policy number, claim number, documents, photos, and prior emails and the part of the service tied to the complaint.
- Response: A useful answer should explain what IAG found and whether it will offer a claim review, payment correction, refund, reassessment, or a clear written explanation.
- Push-back if needed: If the reply is vague or misses the key point, answer on the same thread and restate the unresolved issue in plain language.

If the first answer from IAG does not deal with the substance of the complaint, push it up internally before you move outside the business.
- Escalate internally first: Ask IAG to move the complaint to a manager, specialist complaints team, or formal review path.
- Keep the same chronology: Do not restart from scratch. Re-send the timeline, evidence, and the outcome you still want.
- Move externally when the internal process stalls: If the business still does not deal with it properly, the practical next step is usually AFCA after the insurer's internal dispute resolution process.
When the internal process at IAG stalls or misses the point, the next step is usually an external complaints or regulator route.

- Why this route matters: ASIC or APRA may matter in the background, but AFCA is normally the consumer complaint route.
