The fundamental purpose of the Ombudsman is to investigate complaints from citizens. Whether it is a disagreement stemming from an important decision or a delay in service, the Ombudsman's office listens to the issue and works toward a fair outcome. Albertans may contact the Ombudsman with complaints of unfair treatment by provincial government authorities, municipalities, the Patient Concerns Resolution Process of Alberta Health Services, health professions and other designated professional organizations. The Ombudsman's office ensures fair treatment through independent investigations, recommendations and education for all Albertans. The Ombudsman: is impartial and independent from the government, is respected, influential and effective, promotes standards of administrative fairness, is approachable and responsive, provides services free of charge, does not advocate for the complainant or the authority but recommends solutions that are fair for both sides. Complaints can be submitted at www.ombudsman.ab.ca through a confidential online complaint form or by email, fax or mail.
