Resolving issues

The University of Newcastle welcomes and values all feedback, so that we can take action to continually improve our services and deliver the highest quality in everything we do.

We encourage an organisational culture that responds to concerns in a receptive and constructive manner, and in accordance with the principles of procedural fairness and natural justice.

We aim to assist in, and encourage, the resolution of issues at the lowest level and as quickly as possible.  We can help you to identify the appropriate avenue to raise your issue or concern.


Resolving your issue or concern

We treat any University-related issue or concern seriously. Early recognition, support and effective management is key to avoiding the escalation of an issue to a formal complaint or grievance.

For help with an issue or concern, please choose from the following options:

If you wish to make a formal complaint, please go to our complaints webpages further information.


External resolution process

If you have been unable to resolve your issue or concern with the University, you may be able to raise your issue or concern with an external agency.  Sometimes external agencies will require you to go through internal formal complaints processes first - you can seek further advice from the relevant external agency about this.
