Our work

Access Room Proposal
In 2022 we wrote a proposal for Access Rooms for University of Adelaide students across all campuses. After working with staff to make this a reality, the first Access Room on the North Terrace campus opened in 2024.

Thanks to your responses to our feedback surveys, we are able to bring the experiences of students directly to the people who make the decisions. It is important to us that we create an environment where you feel safe speaking up, and we value confidentiality and trust above all.
