Commitment To Social Justice
Partaking in social justice activities empowers students to stand out and become a valuable part of the community by using their passion for social justice, equity and diversity for good. Say yes to every opportunity that comes your way and become involved in engaging social justice events this year to spark your passion!
Justice Action Committee
The Justice Action Committee is an official committee of the UTS LSS dedicated to the Social Justice Portfolio. Committee members contribute to planning, organising and executing Social Justice Initiatives. These include raising funds for a range of causes, organising annual conferences, and implementing their own initiatives.
Brennan Justice Program
To enrich your law journey by offering opportunities to partake in social justice, we offer the Brennan Justice and Leadership Program. A joint partnership of UTS LSS and UTS Faculty of Law - the Brennan program, upon completion, is listed on your transcript and recognised by many employers.

The Brennan Program enables students to engage with the meaning of justice in different social contexts in a holistic way. The program has two components Reflections on Justice (ROJ) points and Leadership Through Service (LTS) hours. Students can take part in various activities to earn points. You can also participate in volunteering opportunities to register LTS hours.
Textbook Equity Scheme (TES)
The TES is an initiative that loans textbooks to financially disadvantaged students. You can request the textbooks that you require for the coming teaching session once you provide proof of financial hardship and - depending on availability - receive the textbook at no cost.
