Feedback, Complaints & Whistleblower Disclosures

We Value
Your Feedback

At CaSPA Care, we believe feedback is an essential part of improving the care and services we provide.

Your ideas, suggestions, compliments, and complaints help us understand what is working well and where we can do better.

You can provide feedback in any way that suits you:

  • Complete a blue feedback form available near the nurses’ station or at reception.

  • Speak to any staff member, who will help you record your feedback.

  • Send us an email at info@caspacare.org.au.

  • Call us on (03) 9633 9200 and ask for the CEO or Director of Nursing.

  • Provide feedback anonymously if you prefer.

We welcome all feedback and will treat your comments with respect, fairness, and confidentiality.
