Welcome to Student Policy and Appeals

Student Policy and Appeals is responsible for maintaining and communicating student-related policy and procedures and provides advice to students and staff on their application to University life. We consult with stakeholders to ensure that policy serves the needs of the University community, is relevant to the current climate in higher education, and is compliant with Commonwealth and State legislation.

Our key responsibilities are:

• Writing new policy and updating existing policies affecting students at the University
• Assisting students and staff with the interpretation and implementation of student-related policies
• Providing advice and secretarial support for Student Appeals Committees and Fair Treatment Panels
• Reviewing decisions in relation to the remission of HECS-HELP and FEE-HELP
• Collating, circulating and reporting on suggestions for improvement in relation to University services, decisions or processes
