Your complaint to Westpac

Mortgage hardship variation · sent 11 May 2026

Awaiting bank response · IDR clock running
Showing three states of the same case

Current, future-amber, future-overdue

The mock illustrates the canonical IDR colour rule. The clock is anchored on the deadline, not on a fixed percentage. Green is comfortably within the window (more than 5 days remaining for hardship). Amber appears only when the AFCA prompt earns its place (within 5 days of the deadline). Red is reserved for overdue, never a within-window consumer.

Green · >5 days remaining Amber · within 5-day warning window Red · OVERDUE only
State A · Current · Green

On track. Day 2 of your 21-day IDR clock.

Westpac has plenty of time to respond. We're watching the clock for you — there's nothing for you to do right now.
