Important information

You cannot use the Online Customer Feedback System to complain about a judge's behaviour or a court decision.

If you want to complain about a judge's behaviour, you must follow the Protocol for Complaints against Judicial Officers in Western Australia.

If you are unhappy with a court decision, you may be able to appeal. It is a good idea to get legal advice before deciding what to do. For help with the appeal process, contact the court where the decision was made.

You can also submit feedback by:

  • advising a staff member in person
  • email: cfms @ justice.wa.gov.au
  • phone: 61 8 9264 6270 or alternatively call 13 67 57 (local call rate) if the primary number rings out.
