University Students

Your future is too important to be jeopardised by incorrect or ill-informed decisions.  That is why, if you believe an Australian university has acted wrongfully against you, you should talk to Blossom Lawyers.  We have successfully challenged, reduced and had rulings overturned against students.

When Do I Need an Education Lawyer?

While most students can freely focus on their tertiary studies and enjoy university life, legal issues do arise and should not be ignored.  Blossom Lawyers assists university students with a range of Education Law matters, including:

  • Reviewing and appealing decisions on course progression, suspensions, exclusions, bias, and procedurally unfair processes,
  • Disciplinary processes or plagiarism allegations,
  • Discrimination matters, including negotiating reasonable adjustments,
  • Internal/external complaints against a provider, including complaints to an ombudsman,
  • Dispute resolution in claims/complaints against a provider, and
  • Judicial reviews and common law claims against a provider.

Actions against education providers should not imply they are deliberately flouting policy or the law. Universities, for example, are complex entities within which faculties/schools set specific policies and procedures. However, these are subject to constant revision and reform, which can lead to incorrect and detrimental interpretation.

Support for International Students

Australia hosts more than 800,000 international students.  Unfortunately, many are unaware of their legal rights or are reluctant to pursue legal action, even when matters against them are clearly disputable. Blossom Lawyers helps international students with:

  • Drafting review and appeal submissions and preparing for review and appeal hearings,
  • Internal/external complaints against a provider,
  • Advising on judicial reviews,
  • Seeking to overturn decision and/or reduce the severity of findings, and 
  • Discrimincation matters.
