Have you met the TUSA Student Advocates yet?

The TUSA Advocates, Kate and Jon (based in Hobart), Stephen (based in Launceston), and Alec (based in Cradle Coast), are trained staff at TUSA, equipped to handle any issues you may have with the university. Our Student Advocates provide high quality advocacy and support services for all UTAS students, and you can talk to them both on-campus and online. Their job is to help you achieve the best possible educational and wellbeing outcomes. Learn more about our Student Advocacy Service here.

The Student Advocacy team can help with:

• Navigating the University’s rules, ordinances, policies, and procedures
• Appealing decisions made by the University (including fees, compliance, academic progress, and more)
• Making course enquiries, raising concerns, or submitting formal complaints
• Accessing emergency food items, hygiene supplies, and other living necessities
• Making referrals to UTAS and non-UTAS services when you need additional support

Student Advocates can also help you access free legal advice and financial counselling through our partner organisations.

TUSA Experience Leaders (TELs) are students under each of the four major academic colleges. These students sit on academic boards and committees and are able to bring attention to any issues facing students within the colleges.
