Complaints & Appeals

We strive to protect the best interests of our students and clients, and our team is committed to supporting you in any way we can. However, if something does go wrong, we want to know about it and have the opportunity to remedy the situation wherever possible.

A complaints (also known as a grievance) process has been established to ensure that those student concerns are treated in a transparent, timely and just matter. EQUALS ensures that students have access to a fair and equitable process for dealing with grievances and provides an avenue for students to appeal against decisions that affect their progress. A grievance may be lodged within a fair timeframe.

In the first instance EQUALS recommends all students read the Grievance Handling Policy & Procedure (Academic and Non Academic).

Students wishing to lodge a grievance/appeal are requested to do so using the Formal Grievance Form.

Should a student wish to appeal a decision or a proposed action, they will have 28 working days to lodge their appeal.

Report an incident or hazards
