ACHW welcomes feedback from students. Students feedback can be provided directly to the facilitators, the Head of School or when feedback forms are issued by facilitators at the end of a unit or the full program.
ACHW considers grievances and complaints to be serious and urgent matters. The first step of the complaints process is to attempt where possible to resolve a grievance via informal resolution with the relevant person(s) (e.g., a facilitator, another student) or section/department (e.g., Student Support) involved. If the grievance is not resolved informally students may lodge a formal complaint in writing.
Please see the Student Grievances and Complaints Policy and Procedure for further information on how to lodge a complaint and for details on the ACHW complaint resolution process.
Please see the Grievance Policy for further information on how to lodge a complaint.
