These handbooks outline ways that you can provide feedback, raise a concern, or make a complaint.

Resolving issues is a normal part of hall life, we encourage you to chat to our friendly staff and share information with them. Talking to a staff member gives you the opportunity to share your thoughts, how you are feeling, and be provided with support by our pastoral care teams. We generally find this is the fastest way to resolve matters of concern.

We understand that there could be a situation where you might not want to contact the head of hall; in which case, you can speak to, or email, the accommodation team at accommodation@vuw.ac.nz or telephone 04 463 5896. Tell us your name, the hall where you are staying, and the issue you have experienced. Alternatively, you can complete this confidential form; there is the option for you to complete this form anonymously.

If what you would like to tell us, is of a urgent matter then please approach one of our friendly staff members who will be able to assist you more urgently.
