The document outlines the dispute resolution process for the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) in Australia. It involves the following key steps: 1) The applicant lodges a dispute with FOS, who determines if the dispute is eligible and within their terms of reference. 2) If eligible, FOS refers the dispute to the financial services provider (FSP), who has up to 45 days to resolve it directly with the applicant. 3) If the dispute remains unresolved after 45 days, FOS may provide a preliminary view and work to resolve the dispute through negotiation or conciliation.
