About the Annual Complaints Reporting (ACR) tool 

The tool is open for the 2023-24 cycle to record and manage complaints.

If you have any questions or require assistance with login details, please email acr@odsc.vic.gov.au.

The ACR tool has been developed to provide a user-friendly process for service providers to report their complaints to the Disability Services Commissioner. It is designed to have several benefits for service providers, including:

  • Password protected access to your complaint records
  • Administration functions that provide flexible options for tool set-up and the establishment of users
  • An easy-to-use online interface which collects data in a ‘question and answer’ format
  • Easy storage and retrieval of complaints data entered over several sessions, allowing service providers to update complaints throughout the year
  • A download function to allow service providers to view and analyse complaints data in a spreadsheet format
  • A separate spreadsheet facility to allow service providers to record their own information about complaints to assist with internal complaints management and to link this information with the complaints record entered into this tool via the download function; and
    • Note: Information recorded in this downloaded Excel spreadsheet is solely for the use of individual service providers
  • A feedback facility for comments and suggestions for improvement to this reporting tool.

This tool is the preferred approach for service providers to report their complaints to the Disability Services Commissioner. Service providers wishing to enquire about alternative methods for submitting reports can contact the Disability Services Commissioner by email acr@odsc.vic.gov.au.
