Ombudsman Service UpdatesWritten on the 3 June 2020 by SAFCA Energy and Water Ombudsman South Australia (EWOSA) Our role is to facilitate the prompt resolution of disputes between the consumers of energy and water services and the providers of those services, by providing a free, independent, accessible, fair and informal service to consumers. In the first instance, you should contact your supplier and give them the chance to resolve the complaint directly. If you cannot resolve your dispute directly with your supplier, gather your notes together, decide what you are seeking and detail your attempts to resolve the complaint so far. Submit your complaint to us, and we will try to help you resolve it.
