Advice and Advocacy
Your voice on campus
The Student Representative Council (SRC) is elected by students for students, with the SRC President holding a position on the Learning and Teaching Committee. As well as organising loads of fun activities, the SRC represents students’ views on academic issues, presenting them back to the College. The SRC gives students the forum to voice their views, and also gives the College valuable feedback from the people who matter most – our students.
Academic advice and support
Our Student Success Centre (SSC) has Academic Learning Advisors who can help you develop your academic skills and prepare you for the cultural change to tertiary student life. Book an appointment.
Wellness advice
The ICMS Student Wellness Team offers proactive and compassionate support for the mental health and overall wellbeing of the student community. They’re dedicated to establishing a safe, inclusive and nurturing environment where every student can thrive and feel valued.
The team’s mission is to empower students to excel academically, emotionally and socially. They provide unwavering support, foster inclusion, and continuously improve our practices to create a harmonious and thriving educational community. If students ever feel overwhelmed or encounter personal challenges, they can reach our Student Wellness Team and receive the support they need. Book an appointment.
Legal advice
If you need legal advice or legal aid, please consult a legal professional. Speak to the Student Success Centre or contact the team via this form if you’d like them to direct you to an external legal professional.
Redfern Legal Centre (free for international students)
Study NSW provides funding to the International Student Legal Service (ISLS). ISLS provides international students and their dependent VISA holders with support in critical areas such as tenancy conflicts, unpaid wages, unfair dismissal, family law, domestic violence, education-related grievances, and discrimination. ISLS usually directs students to use their resources in the first instance, but students can also schedule an appointment to receive free legal advice.
On-campus residential advice
The Residential Experience Team is committed to ensuring that residents feel right at home when living on-campus at ICMS. Each term the team organises a diverse range of events and activities to promote community building. Learn more about our student accommodation.
Under 18s support
ICMS acknowledges its responsibilities to ensure that appropriate arrangements are in place for students under the age of 18. We aim to ensure that students under 18 years old receive the appropriate accommodation, support and general welfare they need while studying in Australia. Learn more.
