The Social Impact Hub (Intensive Clinic) is an experiential learning program. In this course students will put their legal and business skills and knowledge to use and gain practical experience in different areas of social impact. The course provides formal and informal training, as well as supervised practical experience, in planning and implementing a project in a field of social impact.
The Social Impact Hub works with industry, social enterprises, not-for-profits and foundations to develop and conduct a variety of applied projects in different areas of social impact. In each semester, projects are offered from the following fields:

Students are able to preference the project(s) on which they want to work. Students work in small teams on each project.
Students may be involved in research and policy work, writing, advocacy, advising and related activities. Note that the Social Impact Hub does not pursue litigation. Students will be critically analysing the role of lawyers, businesses, foundations, not-for-profits and investors as part of the course.
Students are required to work for at least 24 days at the Social Impact Hub, generally two days a week, and attend scheduled team meetings. The exact time and days of this attendance will be negotiated between the student and the Director of the Social Impact Hub.
Students are also required to attend weekly seminars. These are designed to promote discussion and critical reflection on a wide range of issues that may arise during the experiential component of the course, and also introduce students to the fields of social impact that are not the principal subject of their project. It is intended that students will learn from the projects of other students.
The Social Impact Hub (Intensive Clinic) is one of the elective subjects for law and will normally be taken either in conjunction with or after the completion of Business Associations. It provides a good grounding for students who are looking to work across law and business, and also make a difference to society. The areas of focus of the Social Impact Hub are all growing fields with increasing employment opportunities.
The clinic format gives students a unique opportunity to put into practice doctrinal knowledge and professional skills that will be expected of them as young professionals. For example, students will be expected to develop a project plan and associated timeframe and work to the plan. The course will also develop students' ability to engage professionally and work collaboratively with a variety of stakeholders, while gaining experience in producing timely and professional written work-product that may be relied upon by other professionals. They are able develop these capacities within a supportive environment in which students are closely supervised and individualised feedback is frequently available, and in which critical reflection is encouraged. Students will be given significant responsibility and be expected to take initiative, developing the confidence and humility necessary to be effective social change agents in their chosen career.
