We lead the development and coordinated delivery of specialised welcome, orientation and induction activities for all students. Our purpose is to ensure students’ long-term engagement with Deakin University and each other.

In partnership with the Student Association, student clubs and societies we work hard to achieve a harmonious and respectful campus culture. This is done through inter-cultural event information and education, celebration of diversity and zero tolerance of abuse, harassment or victimisation in any form.
