Feedback
We would like to thank those of you who completed our March 2012 client satisfaction survey, and let you know what we intend to do with your valuable feedback.
It was most pleasing to learn from the survey that, overwhelmingly, clients are very satisfied with the service OSR provides. It was also clear there are some aspects which you would like us to focus on to make our services even better.
We have compiled all of the feedback and suggestions for improvement and have already undertaken actions to address concerns which were raised.
We have:
developed and implemented a brand new SDRO website to improveaccessibility and usability
continued to identify opportunities to provide more self-service and payment options
commenced a project to deliver tax and fines services though mobile devices and applications
investigated the use of social media to improve information provided to clients.
The next client satisfaction survey will be run in late 2012 to further assess the level of service you are receiving, and to give you another opportunity to offer suggestions for improvement.
We appreciate your ongoing feedback as this is an important mechanism for understanding your needs and expectations.
