It is important for students to know that they are not alone in dealing with the pressures they may face as part of their studies. All members of the IMC Student Services team are willing to offer guidance and support when required. Our Student Services office along with the Academic office have an open-door policy and are obliged to talk to you about any matters you may be dealing with.

IMC offers various academic support to our students. You can find detailed information via Academic Support or email to learning@imc.edu.au

If you are planning to apply for a work placement position or if you are applying for a new job, Student Services can support you and review your resume to ensure you have the best possible chance. You can also get more information about career opportunities through Career Edge.

If you need psychological counselling services, you may also book a session directly with our student counsellor via counselling@imc.edu.au. See our Counselling Services for more information.
If you would like to get peer support, you are always welcome to join our Mentor Program at IMC.
Student Mentor Program
IMC Student Services has recently implemented a new student mentor program, which provides students with assistance and guidance in various aspects of their study and home life that help to enhance student’s welfare and wellbeing. For further details, please refer to Student Activities.
Student Feedback, Complaints and Grievances
At the end of each semester, every student is asked to rank their teachers, tutors and units. This is a confidential survey which students can access via Moodle from week 8. All students can also have individual consultations with a student services team member to talk about any challenges or difficulties they currently face. If you don't want to speak to our staff, you can always talk to a student representative.
All students are encouraged to speak up and report any issues that may arise. All students have the right to report problems, concerns or grievances regarding any aspect of their studies or other related activities, which are within the control of IMC and its staff.
All communication between Student Services and individual students remain confidential. IMC will attend to your complaint and ensure that your concerns are addressed appropriately and as quickly as possible. To get more information, please refer to the Complaints and Grievances policy.
Support for Students Policy
At IMC, we recognise that your journey through higher education encompasses more than academic achievements alone. It's a period of growth, facing and overcoming challenges, and preparing for the future. In light of this, our Support for Student Policy has been carefully crafted to ensure you have access to comprehensive support and resources, enabling you to thrive both within and beyond the classroom.
