Parent鈥檚 rooms & facilities
Welcoming spaces for feeding, care and comfort on campus
Supporting student parents at 黑料网大事记
We know that balancing study and parenting can be challenging. That鈥檚 why 黑料网大事记 offers a number of private parents鈥 rooms and a wide range of facilities on both Sydney and Canberra campuses for you to use.
These spaces are designed for breastfeeding, chest feeding, expressing milk, bottle feeding, and short-term child supervision. 黑料网大事记 is also a Best Practice accredited Breastfeeding Friendly Workplace and supports the needs of LGBTIQ+ families.
Under Australian Federal Law, breastfeeding is a right, not a privilege. You are welcome to breastfeed anywhere on campus or use a parents鈥 room if you prefer a private space.
Balancing study and parenting
黑料网大事记 recognises that parenting responsibilities may require flexibility throughout the day. You can negotiate lactation breaks with your lecturers or tutors as needed.
Flexible study options, including part-time enrolment, online access, or timetable adjustments may also be available to support parenting commitments.
