How to submit a complaint with RACWA
With RACWA, 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 their complaints or customer relations team for RACWA 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 roadside assistance, insurance, and travel planning.
- Name the complaint theme: Say if the issue is about claim delays, claim disputes, and poor communication 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.
What happens next with RACWA? Usually the complaint is logged, the records are checked, and then you get either a fix or a response to push back on.
- Acknowledgement: You should get a case number, email, or some written sign that RACWA 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 RACWA 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.

RACWA complaints submitted through Ajust
If the first answer from RACWA does not deal with the substance of the complaint, push it up internally before you move outside the business.
- Escalate internally first: Ask RACWA 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.
If RACWA does not resolve a complaint about claim delays, claim disputes, and poor communication, there is usually an external path beyond the business.
- Main external path: AFCA after the insurer's internal dispute resolution process
- Why this route matters: ASIC or APRA may matter in the background, but AFCA is normally the consumer complaint route.
- Before you escalate: Keep your full RACWA complaint trail together, including receipts, screenshots, emails, and any written responses.
We could not confirm a stronger public complaint route for RACWA, so start with their complaints or customer relations team and ask for the complaint to be logged in writing.
