VENDOR OPERATING CONDITIONS & GUIDELINES

Welcome to Country, Orientation Week, Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, Hobart.

We acknowledge the palawa/pakana people of lutruwita/Tasmania and Gadigal people of Sydney, the traditional owners of the land upon which we live and work. We pay respects to Elders past and present as the knowledge holders and sharers. We honour their strong culture and knowledges as vital to the self-determination, wellbeing and resilience of their communities. We stand for a future that profoundly respects and acknowledges Aboriginal perspectives, culture, language and history.

STUDENT LIVING PRINCIPLES

At Student Living, our work is guided by three core principles:

1 Safety

2 Inclusion

3 Respect Our student residents are valued partners at the centre of our community. We work together to build a welcoming, caring and respectful home that celebrates the diversity of our student resident community, fostering continual growth for a positive future.

The safety of our residents is our first priority. We provide physically safe spaces and a culture of personal safety. Our staff provide support and appropriate referral. Our student residents receive clear messaging, training and reinforcement on all aspects of their physical and personal safety.

Student residents belong to a community where they are known, valued, and supported. Our student residents are encouraged to contribute to and access opportunities that build connections, extend their capabilities and enhance their academic success and future readiness.
