EWOV is a not-for-profit, independent and impartial dispute resolution service. We provide Victorian energy and water customers with free, accessible, informal and fast dispute resolution.
For customers with complaints, we use alternative dispute resolution processes to resolve disputes impartially, informally and quickly. We aim to make fair and reasonable decisions, taking into account the circumstances of the case, good industry practice and the law. For customers with general enquiries, we provide advice, information and referral.
From the cases we receive, we identify systemic issues and report these to the energy or water company and regulators so that they can be addressed.
We publish information about energy and water complaints, issues and trends.
We work with energy and water companies, regulators and consumer groups to drive customer service improvements and help prevent complaints.

What are the peak bodies saying. We hear from CHP, CHFV and VCOSS
Council to Homeless Persons (CHP)
The Council to Homeless persons has congratulated the Victorian Government on the significant investments in housing, homelessness and family violence announced in this year's State Budget. While many of the commitments outlined in the Budget had been announced previously, they are worth recognising a second time; in particular, the Government’s major housing centrepiece Homes for Victorians, which includes $1 billion commitment to a Social Housing Growth fund. The other big news in this year's budget was the $1.9 billion investment in family violence services. Given the insidious relationship between homelessness and family violence, this commitment is highly commended.
