However it is important that a complainant understands that this may have an impact on how effectively the University can deal with the complaint. There are difficulties in investigating anonymous complaints because the University is unable to seek clarification of the complaint or additional information about the complaint. This includes the ability to gather further information from the complainant, provide natural justice to those subject to the complaint and, where appropriate, update the complainant on the outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n<mimas-block \n        block-name=\"accordion\"\n        role=\"complementary\"\n        aria-label=\"Accordion content\"\n        data-segment=\"all\">\n\n                \n\n                    <div class=\"accordion\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-title-Complaints-and-feedbacks-about-Curtin-and-it's-staff,-agents-or-related-parties\">\n            <button type=\"button\" class=\"accordion__heading\" aria-controls=\"Complaints-and-feedbacks-about-Curtin-and-it's-staff,-agents-or-related-parties\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n            <div class=\"title\" id=\"accordion-title-Complaints-and-feedbacks-about-Curtin-and-it's-staff,-agents-or-related-parties\">Complaints and feedbacks about Curtin and it&#8217;s staff, agents or related parties<\/div>\n            <div class=\"icon\"><\/div>\n        <\/button>\n        <div class=\"accordion__content\" id=\"Complaints-and-feedbacks-about-Curtin-and-it's-staff,-agents-or-related-parties\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                    <p>You may lodge a formal complaint or provide feedback about any aspect of Curtin and its operations through the Complaints Portal.
