Policies and procedures
Our policies and procedures outline student rights and responsibilities. They include Box Hill Institute’s responsibilities to students, who are affected by these policies and procedures from student selection to student assessment.
How do policies and procedures affect students?
Policies and procedures not only outline the rights and responsibilities of students but also Box Hill Institute’s responsibilities to students. Policies and procedures affecting students range from student selection to student assessment.
Student Right of Complaint
Box Hill Institute recognises student feedback as an integral part of the process for continuous development. If a student is looking to submit a complaint or feedback, they can do so by:
- Emailing customerrelations@boxhill.edu.au
- Calling 03 9286 9457
- Submitting the enquiry form here and selecting 'Complaint/Feedback' as the enquiry topic.
Find out more by heading to the Student Feedback page on StudentWeb.
If a student would like to escalate a problem or complaint outside the institution, you can contact the Victorian Ombudsman to seek further assistance.
The Ombudsman investigates complaints made against staff who work for government departments, statutory authorities and local councils. The Ombudsman has a team of experienced enquiry and investigation officers who handle enquiries and complaints received by the office.
There is a Student Grievance Policy, which can be followed as a first point of call.

Protected Disclosure Act
The purpose of the Protected Disclosure Act 2012 is to encourage and facilitate the making of disclosures of improper conduct by public officers and public bodies. The Act provides protection to persons who make disclosures in accordance with the Act.
The Institute has policies and procedures to promote the protection of persons who make a protected disclosure under the Act, which can be accessed via this page of the website or from the Protected Disclosure Coordinator at protecteddisclosure@bhi.edu.au.
Officers, members, employees and contractors of the Institute as well as members of the public, may make a disclosure of improper conduct or detrimental action under the Act to the Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission (IBAC) online here.
The Institute’s Protected Disclosure Coordinator cannot receive disclosures. They must be made directly to IBAC. The Coordinator is responsible for coordinating disclosures and the welfare of disclosers.
