Our promises

We want to provide reliable, repeatable and consistent services and intensive support to those customers who need us the most.

Our customer promise is about building trust with our customers and being clear about the standard of service you can expect from us. Our promise is there so that you can hold us to account for the things that matter to you most.

We have outlined the service standards under each promise. Our Service Standards provide the detail on how we intend to deliver our promises.

 

We'll involve you

We'll involve you in more of the things that matter to you and your community. We'll do this by delivering the objectives set out in our Customer Engagement and Involvement Framework.

These objectives outline our commitments to:

  • Improve customer information and increase understanding.
  • Understand what really matters to customers.
  • Involve customers in shaping our approach to service delivery, scrutinising our performance and holding us to account.
  • Embed the customer voice throughout the organisation.
  • Provide a rewarding experience for our engaged customers.
