Responsible for managing concerns about conduct, quality, or ethics. The CDOC ensures all complaint and dispute processes are fair, peer-driven, timely, and consistent with principles of natural justice.

All MRA members are expected to participate in the collective review of public reports, contributing to a culture of continuous improvement and accountability.

Where concerns are raised regarding the technical quality, disclosure practices, or ethical conduct of a public report or its author, a Peer Review Panel (PRP) may be convened. These panels:

• Are drawn from qualified MRA members

• Operate under the oversight of the Complaints and Disputes Oversight Committee (CDOC)

• Conduct structured, fair, and peer-based reviews

• Emphasise constructive engagement, not punishment

• Ensure the subject of review is granted a right of reply, in line with natural justice

• Operate with strict confidentiality, integrity, and impartiality

Where a serious breach is identified after due process, the PRP’s findings are escalated through CDOC to the Board for determination.

Convened as needed to independently review decisions relating to membership, complaints, or discipline. Ensures natural justice and procedural fairness.
