South Australian Ombudsman

The South Australian Ombudsman is an independent office that helps ensure government agencies and local councils act fairly, legally, and ethically. If someone believes they’ve been treated unfairly or have a complaint about government services, the Ombudsman reviews the case impartially, investigates issues, and makes recommendations for improvement. Their role is to promote accountability, transparency, and better service, safeguarding citizens’ rights without replacing the legal system. The Ombudsman’s work is vital for maintaining public trust and ensuring government agencies operate responsibly and effectively in South Australia.
