Organisations external to JCU
If you remain dissatisfied with the way the University has dealt with your complaint, there are external organisations which may be able to assist. The following complaints handling services provide free and impartial external processes that complainants may choose to access. You may contact these agencies at any time throughout or after the complaint process.
- The Queensland Ombudsman has jurisdiction to investigate administrative actions undertaken by Queensland universities. Please note that generally the Ombudsman only investigates claims once all internal appeals processes with the University are determined and internal appeal avenues are exhausted.
- The Anti-Discrimination Commission Queensland can investigate complaints of discrimination.
- The Australian Human Rights Commission can investigate complaints of discrimination and human rights breaches.
- The Queensland Office of Fair Trading
In Singapore, a student may ask for help from the Council for Private Education (CPE) Student Services Centre (SSC), which is part of the Singapore Government’s approved dispute resolution scheme for tertiary education. Please note that after the SSC reviews a complaint, it may refer students to the CPE Mediation – Arbitration Scheme, which may involve a cost to use.
