About the role  

Located in the heart of Western Sydney, the Macquarie Fields Suburban Study Hub is designed to make tertiary education more accessible for local students. The Hub offers campus-style study spaces, on-site academic and administrative support, and a range of student services. Open to learners enrolled in any Australian tertiary institution, the Study Hub creates opportunities for students to pursue post-secondary education without the need to travel or relocate, making higher education more achievable for residents from Macquarie Fields and surrounding communities.  

As a Suburban Study Hub Learning Skills Advisor, you’ll play a hands-on role supporting students from diverse backgrounds as they navigate the world of higher education. You’ll provide one-on-one help with enrolment processes, HECS information, assignment support, scholarship navigation, and using VET and higher education systems. A key part of your role will be helping students understand the often-confusing academic language and processes of their education provider and supporting them to confidently communicate with their provider. 

Beyond academic support, you’ll also offer general wellbeing and career guidance, connecting students to support services and community networks when needed. You’ll contribute to promoting the Study Hub, strengthening relationships with local schools, council, and educational partners, and ensuring the Study Hub remains welcoming, safe, and student focused. This is a collaborative and varied role where no two days will be the same. 

This innovative project is supported by the Australian Government through the Suburban University Study Hubs Program.
