Hi @Abhi352,
Welcome to the Bunnings community! It is awesome to have you here for your D.I.Y. questions, thank you for asking about your loose handles.
Typically these would be the steps to follow: gently remove the faceplate from the handle by locating a small hole around the bottom of your faceplate and unlock the plate with an allen key. You will then be able to tighten the screws on both sides of the door. Place the faceplate back onto the handle and lock back in with the allen key.
If you cannot remove the faceplate, please let us know and send us more photos of your handles so we can see what you are working with.
Here is a video about installing a door handle, hope it proves helpful: How to install a door handle.
Please let us know if you have any more questions.

Hi @KatieC thanks for the steps.
Not sure if there is an Allen key to open the faceplate and unable to open the plate with screwdriver. Pls check pics below.
Hello @Abhi352
Thank you so much for those additional photos you posted. You'll notice that in one of the photos the faceplate has a slot cut into it. I suggest placing a flathead screwdriver into the slot and levering the cover off. Make sure to do the same thing to the other side so that the cover does not get stuck in place. The cover is basically pushed on and you've got to pull it off. There's every possibility that it is very tight and you may have to do several tries before the cover comes off. But once you have the cover removed all you need to do is tighten the installation screws to get the door handle to firm up on the door.
Please keep us updated with your progress, we look forward to seeing your door handle repaired.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.
