Commonwealth Ombudsman

The Commonwealth Ombudsman is an independent office in Australia that helps people resolve issues with government agencies. If someone feels they have been treated unfairly or their rights have been ignored by a federal department, they can reach out to the Ombudsman. The Ombudsman investigates complaints, reviews decisions, and can recommend changes to improve services. This role is essential for promoting accountability, transparency, and fairness within the government, ensuring that citizens have a way to seek redress and that government practices meet expected standards.
