Taking your complaints during Victoria’s Stage 3 restrictions

In line with advice from the Victorian Chief Health Officer, Stage 3 "Stay at Home" restrictions have been reinstated across Victoria.

We all need to take more precautions than ever before to contain the community spread of COVID-19, which means practicing physical distancing of at least 1.5 metres, wearing a face mask while outside of your home and where possible, working or studying from home.

While public transport continues to operate as normal in Melbourne and Victoria for those essential workers and people who need it most, there are only four reasons to leave home:

  • to shop for food and essential goods/services
  • to provide care, for compassionate reasons or to seek medical treatment
  • to exercise or for outdoor recreation, and
  • for work or study (if you can't do it from home).

PTO operating as normal

We are continuing to operate our scheme as normal to take your public transport complaints, but we have made some changes to the way we are operating in light of the Stage 3 “Stay at Home” restrictions in Victoria. We are committed to ensuring that we are still available, so all our team are working from home.

Remember, if you haven’t done so already, you will need to contact the public transport operator first to give them an opportunity to resolve your complaint. If the operator does not resolve your complaint, you can contact us and we’ll take a look at it for you.
