Contact the cantonal ombudsman

4. Contact the Administrative Mediation Office (BMA)

The cantonal ombudsman receives by appointment any person who makes a request, deals with the case or refers the person to a third party (available in French only) if the request falls outside his scope of action.
 

How to contact the ombudsman ?

  • by telephone at +41 (0)22 327 95 79, Monday to Friday, from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm
  • by email at : bma@etat.ge.ch
     

To whom does the BMA report ?

The law (LMéd-GE - in French only) guarantees the independance of the BMA.
The cantonal ombudsman and his substitute are elected for a period of 5 years by the Grand Conseil after consultation with the Conseil d'Etat.

In January 2023, the Grand Conseil extended the mandate of the cantonal ombudsman and his substitute by one year, until 30 November 2024.
