Complaints about us

MBIE expects high professional standards of its people, in the same way that it expects high standards of the occupations we regulate. If you are unhappy with the behaviour of a member of Occupational Regulation, you can make a complaint about that person.

In addition, if you are unhappy with a policy or procedure that you are subject to or aware of, you can also make a complaint.

Our people must comply with MBIE’s Code of Conduct. The Code of Conduct helps us to use sound judgement when making decisions and taking actions. It focuses on acting fairly, impartially, responsibly and in a trustworthy manner, all of which are key to our work as public servants.

Our Code of Conduct aligns with employment agreements, employment legislation, MBIE policies and the Public Service Commission Standards of Integrity and Conduct(external link)

How to make a complaint

You can complain verbally or in writing in any of the following ways:

The manager will send a complaint acknowledgment letter within 24 hours of receiving the complaint.

The complaint will then be internally investigated, and the complainant will receive a reply within 15 working days.
