Student Services
VISION
As part of the Australian Catholic University, a community committed to engaging the ethical and spiritual dimensions of university life, Student Services responds to individual needs and enhances the supportive framework of the University. We do this by providing quality support and learning opportunities to enable each student to develop to their full potential and to make an ongoing contribution to the good of society.
MISSION
Student Services enhances the ability of Australian Catholic University to provide excellent higher education to its diverse and dispersed student body.
In collaboration with other university personnel, we encourage students to develop a critical habit of mind, to take responsibility for their own learning, and to use their knowledge and skills to contribute to the wider community.
Our services, programs and individual support develop the intellectual, personal and spiritual life of students in a community of learning that values equity, social justice and the dignity of all human beings. Our practice is also guided by the principles and values of our respective professions.

The following values inform all our activities:
- Respect for every person
- Equity and fairmindedness in dealing with others
- Respect for and appreciation of diversity
- Adherence to the principles and ethics of our respective professions
