Activist Rights

Student activists

Estimated reading: 1 minute

Universities use a broad range of legal sanctions to both deter and punish effective student actions on campus.

If you are planning to participate in a protest occurring on university groups, you should be aware of all charges for which you may be potentially liable.

If any charges are laid against you, in internal proceedings or otherwise, you might want to seek independent legal advice.

Many student organisations offer this service free for students; if not, you can contact Victoria Legal Aid or your local community legal centre.
