If you are in need of legal services or advice, JCU offers a free service but there are also external services that can help.
JCU Services
JCU Student Association has a welfare service that can help with access to community legal services. They also provide advocacy support - you may require this type of support if you need to submit a formal review of your subject results, for instance.
The JCU Tax Clinic offers free and confidential advice. It operates between March and November each year and is located in Building 27, Ground Floor, Room 008. Appointments are held on a Thursday afternoon between 2pm and 5pm.
For JCU Singapore Students please contact a student advisor at JCUS by emailing JCUSprogressions@jcu.edu.au
