The role of the Student Ombud is to ensure that all students receive fair and equitable treatment within the University of South Australia. The Student Ombud is there to provide advice and, if appropriate, independently investigate your complaint to determine whether you have been treated fairly and that all the correct policies and procedures have been followed. Although part of the University, the Student Ombud is independent and impartial.
With the exception of complaints about bullying, discrimination or harassment, the Student Ombud will normally only intervene in a complaint when all other avenues for resolution have been exhausted. However any party to a complaint may seek advice from the Student Ombud at any stage.
