Overview
This diagram shows you how your pathway will progress. The process is different depending on who your issue or dispute is with. The processes are open to APRA and AMCOS members. If you are not an APRA or AMCOS member then contact the APRA AMCOS member services team.
Disputes with APRA AMCOS
The resolution pathways are designed to match the problem with the process. A good match will maximise the chances of satisfaction and success. Pathways differ in the level of formality, the level of involvement of the parties and the cost of the pathway.
