About the program
The Student Advocacy Service works with children, young people and their caregivers to understand their rights, speak up and find solutions when the mainstream school system isn’t working for them. Whether it’s about enrolment, exclusion, discrimination or learning support, we’re here to listen and help.
We offer advice, resources and one-on-one advocacy, working with families and schools to make sure every student can participate fully in education. Because every child has the right to learn, feel safe and be treated with respect.
