Complaints and Dispute Handling

How to raise a problem with GoBro, what we do with it, and how long it takes.

1. Purpose

This procedure explains how GoBro receives, reviews and answers complaints about a booking, a member, a payment or our own service.

2. What you can complain about

  • A service that was not provided, or not as described.
  • Damage, loss or an incident during a stay, a hire, a ride or a job.
  • A payment, a fee, a deposit or a refund.
  • The behaviour of another member.
  • A decision made by the GoBro team.
  • How we handled your personal information.

3. How to submit a complaint

The quickest way is the "Oops, a problem?" button on the booking. You can also use the report buttons on a listing, a profile or a message, or email complaints@gobro.com.au.

4. Required information

  • Your username and the booking reference.
  • What happened, when, and who was involved.
  • What outcome you are asking for.

5. Evidence

Attach the completion photos, any additional photos, and the messages that matter. Evidence sent through the platform is stored with the file.

6. Acknowledgement

We acknowledge every complaint within 2 business days.

7. Target response time

We aim to give you a written answer within 10 business days. If a file is complex we will tell you why we need longer and when to expect our answer.

8. Human review

Every complaint is read and decided by a member of the GoBro team. The assistant never decides a complaint.

9. Contact with the other party

We speak to each party in a separate support conversation. This keeps the exchange calm and lets each person share evidence privately.

10. Interim measures

While a complaint is open, the amount GoBro holds for the booking is not released, and the deposit is not returned until the file is closed.

11. Payment suspension

Where fraud or a safety risk is suspected, we may also suspend other payments or the account concerned while we look into it.

12. Decision-making

The GoBro team decides how the held amount is released, based on the signed contract, the listing, the before and after photos, the messages and any other evidence.

Both parties confirm the outcome with their username, and the decision is recorded in the file.

13. Internal review

If you disagree with our answer, you can ask for an internal review within 14 days. A different team member looks at the file again.

14. Escalation

You can ask to speak to a person at any point, from the assistant or from your support conversation. See our Human Escalation Procedure.

15. Safety

If anyone is in danger, call 000 first. Then tell us so we can suspend the listing or the account and preserve the evidence.

16. Discrimination and harassment

Discrimination and harassment are not tolerated. Complaints of this kind are treated as a priority and can lead to immediate suspension.

17. Privacy

Privacy complaints go to privacy@gobro.com.au. We acknowledge within 5 business days and answer within 30 days.

18. Fraud

Report suspected fraud to us immediately. You can also report it to Scamwatch, and to your bank if money has left your account.

19. Minors and vulnerable persons

GoBro is for people aged 18 and over. Any report involving a minor or a person at risk is escalated to the team immediately and, where appropriate, to the authorities.

20. External legal rights

You can contact Consumer Protection Western Australia about consumer matters, the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (www.oaic.gov.au, 1300 363 992) about privacy, or take a matter to court. Using our procedure does not limit those rights.

21. Record keeping

Complaint files, decisions and the evidence supplied are kept for 7 years.

22. Contact

complaints@gobro.com.au — Monday to Friday, 9 am to 5 pm AWST. GoBro, Curtis De Seixas, sole trader, ABN 30 291 712 177, Perth, Western Australia.

23. Date

This version applies from 5 September 2026.
