Making a complaint
You can complain about a person who is a current or former independently qualified pool inspector. Complaints may lead to a pool inspector being disciplined.
What you can complain about
You can make a complaint if you have engaged an independently qualified pool inspector (pool inspector) and:
- you're not happy with:
- the competency or quality of their work
- their conduct
- you feel that:
- they’ve breached their code of conduct

Information about the code of conduct and conflicts of interest is located in the Pool inspectors' area of the site.
