Complaints and grievances

We continually strive to improve the quality of services to students and our regional communities. If you believe we can do better and can give us some feedback, we invite you to submit a complaint so we can investigate and take action if required.

You can also report serious wrongdoing via a Public Interest Disclosure (whistleblowing).

Students

If you are a student and you're concerned about the University's academic, administration or support services, you may make a complaint.
