Federation University Disaster Assistance Scheme

Federation University supports those affected by the current bushfire crisis.

Our community is deeply saddened by the devastation caused from the bushfires gripping many parts of our country including East Gippsland.

Our Gippsland Campus at Churchill has not been directly impacted by the East Gippsland fires, however it is possible that some of our students may have been affected.

We have implemented the Federation University Disaster Assistance Scheme to provide support for any impacted students. If you have been impacted by these recent bushfires, there is a variety of support services available, including financial assistance, free replacement of study materials destroyed in the bushfires, including textbooks, computer equipment, or uniforms, counselling and flexibility with study deadlines.

Please contact Federation University on 1800 FED UNI (1800 333 864) for advice on how to access the scheme.
