Our investigations are confidential, but the Commissioner may issue a public report if the matter is formally investigated and of public interest.

Formal investigations are relatively infrequent, and most complaints are resolved using our informal complaint resolution process. While we do not issue reports on complaints resolved informally, examples of this work can be read in Your Stories and in our annual reports. The following reports resulted from formal investigations.
