If you have a complaint about your accommodation, you should raise it with the accommodation provider in the first instance. If you are not satisfied with their response, you will need to follow the formal complaint process of your education provider.
If you are not satisfied with the outcome of that complaint process, you may then make a complaint to NZQA.
