University exam arrangements for breastfeeding students

August 2016

Anissa* is a university student. She claimed her university would not allow her to breastfeed her baby while sitting her exams. 

Anissa lodged a complaint with ADNSW. 

When she told the university that she had made the complaint, they agreed to review their exam policy and incorporate special arrangements for breastfeeding mothers.
