Let us help you submit your aviation complaint to the right agency or organisation.
I’d like to make a complaint about…
Airline customer service
Contact your airline to make a complaint in the first instance. The Airline Customer Advocate (ACA) reviews unresolved airline complaints.
Aircraft noise
Airservices Australia manages complaints and enquiries on aircraft noise and operations in Australia and works with industry to minimise impacts of aircraft noise.
Drones (remotely piloted aircraft)
There are rules for the safe use of drones in Australia. These rules are designed to protect other people in the air and on the ground.
Aviation security
The Department of Home Affairs is Australia's transport security regulator for aviation transport, maritime transport and the offshore oil and gas industry.
Aviation safety
You can raise safety concerns with the aviation safety regulator (the Civil Aviation Safety Authority), or the independent safety investigator (the Australian Transport Safety Bureau).
Airport curfews
Adelaide, Essendon, Gold Coast and Sydney airports have a curfew from 11:00pm to 6:00am. These restrict operations to reduce the impact of aircraft noise on residents.
Military flying activities
The Department of Defence manages complaints and enquiries about military flying activities and aircraft noise and operations in Australia.
