The Swinburne Student Association  Advocacy Service (SAS) provides free and confidential support to help you understand your rights and navigate university systems.

Their professional advocates are here to support you through academic and personal challenges—without judgement and independent from the university.

They can support you with:

  • Academic appeals
  • Progress review meetings
  • Special consideration applications
  • Academic or general misconduct allegations (e.g. plagiarism)
  • Complaints, grievances, or discrimination

How they work:

  • Free and confidential for all Swinburne students
  • Independent advice—they’re not part of the university
  • Flexible access—choose online or face-to-face support

Need Help?
Submit your enquiry via the Advocacy Request Form and one of SAS’s advocates will get in touch.
