Untapped power of unpublished data 

What information can you gain from complaints data?

Which businesses are truly trustworthy? What problems might you face when making a purchase? Are others experiencing the same problem, or are you the only one?

Critical answers to these questions lie hidden within vast datasets held by Australian regulators. Yet, this valuable information often remains inaccessible to the public, in stark contrast to initiatives in NSW, QLD and internationally.

Join us for a unique webinar where we unveil the findings of our latest research into the publication practices of consumer complaints data among Australian regulators.
