Students who feel happy, healthy and safe perform better in their studies.
DUSA has Student Rights Officers and Student Representatives to provide support and services for you.
DUSA seeks to maximise the experience of Deakin students in all aspects of university life. We regularly review internal operations and procedures to identify barriers which may prevent full participation by students.
DUSA supports campaigns around student welfare and rights both in terms of influencing individual student behaviour and the policies of external bodies, such as the University and government, whose decisions impact on your welfare while studying at Deakin.
Financial Assistance is available to help you with the following:
DUSA can refer you to free Legal Services available in the community. You can also get help by visiting the Victorian Government Legal Online web site.
Information on housing and emergency accommodation is available from the DUSA House Me website.
If you are experiencing any problem, personal or academic, please contact one of our Student Rights Officers. If they can't help you they will refer you to someone who can. Confidentiality is assured.
