What is this fact sheet about?

This fact sheet discusses what happens when the NSW Ombudsman makes a direct referral of a complaint to an agency. It explains why we make a direct referral and the process after we have done so. The fact sheet also tells you when to expect a response from the agency, and what to do if this does not happen, or you are not happy with the response.
