Queensland body corporate operations

My body corporate is ignoring my complaint — what next?

If a complaint appears to be ignored, create a concise follow-up record, ask who owns the next action and use the appropriate scheme or Queensland dispute-resolution information if it remains unresolved.

General information, not legal advice

Check whether the complaint was received

Find the original message, delivery confirmation or reference number. If there is no acknowledgement, resend a short summary through the nominated reporting channel and ask for confirmation.

Ask focused follow-up questions

  • Who is responsible for the next action?
  • Is an inspection, response or decision pending?
  • What information is still needed?
  • When should the next update be expected?
  • What is the correct escalation contact if there is no response?

Preserve evidence

Keep a dated chronology, photos, notices and relevant replies. For recurring issues, record each event consistently. Evidence should be factual and proportionate to the issue.

Queensland context and escalation

Do not assume that silence automatically proves a breach or creates a particular legal remedy. Check Queensland Government information and the scheme documents, and obtain qualified advice where the matter is serious or disputed.

How MyComplex helps

A complaint or issue record can show the original report, assigned owner, due status, updates and closure evidence, making it easier to identify where a matter has stalled.
