Most agencies publish a complaints process — use it first and keep ticket numbers. If unresolved, escalate: Ombudsman (administration/fairness), Privacy Commissioner (personal data), sector bodies (Health and Disability Commissioner, Financial Services Complaints Ltd, etc.).
Judicial review in the High Court is the nuclear option for illegal decisions — costly and slow. Parliamentary select committees accept petitions but rarely resolve individual cases quickly.
