university contact officers

University Contact Officers play an important role in acting as an alternative point of contact within the University on matters related to equal opportunity. They assist students and staff by providing referral advice on equity policies and practices, together with information on services and support available through the University to assist in resolving issues of concern.

University Contact Officers provide a voluntary service and receive training in Equal Opportunity Law on their appointment and on-going training updates throughout their tenure as a Contact Officer.

Staff and students are encouraged to discuss issues with the persons directly concerned as soon as possible after the incident. Where this is not possible, the University has appointed staff to assist staff and students resolve concerns. Staff should discuss their concerns with their line manager, or seek advice from Lesley Roza in Human Resources on extension 2362. Students should discuss their concerns in the first instance with the lecturer or relevant Head of School, or contact Mark Turner on 9400 5669 .
