Wellbeing comes to you

Looking after your wellbeing is an important part of university life, and sometimes the hardest part is knowing where to start. To make it easier to connect with support, Wellbeing Services are bringing the support directly to you through new Wellbeing Outposts at the Bundoora campus.

These outposts are relaxed drop-in spaces where you can chat with a member of the Wellbeing Team. Staffed by qualified social workers with experience in supporting university students, these outposts provide a space to ask questions or get help finding the right types of support if you need it. 

Indigenous Student Services, Ngarni-gi Bagora Centre – Wellbeing Outpost:

Wellbeing staff are now available at the Ngarni-gi Bagora Indigenous Centre for First Nations students fortnightly on a Thursday between 10am and 2pm. 

This outpost creates a welcoming space to connect informally with a Wellbeing professional, learn about available supports, and get help navigating services both at La Trobe and in the wider community.  Here you can receive wellbeing information, talk through concerns, or be supported to connect with the broader Wellbeing Services team if needed.

This initiative strengthens collaboration between Indigenous Student Services and Wellbeing Services, helping ensure culturally supportive and accessible wellbeing support for First Nations students.

Living at La Trobe, Bundoora – Wellbeing Outpost:

If you live in on-campus accommodation at Bundoora, wellbeing support is now even closer. 

A member of the Wellbeing Team will be available at the Living at La Trobe offices on a fortnightly basis Tuesdays between 10am and 2pm.  You’re welcome to drop by for a quick chat, ask questions, or get guidance about support services available to you as a student.

Why visit a Wellbeing Outpost?

Wellbeing Outposts are designed to make support easy, approachable and accessible.

You might visit to:

• Talk through a challenge you’ve been experiencing.
• Talk through concerns about another person.
• Ask questions about mental health or wellbeing supports.
• Get help connecting with the right service.

You don’t need to be in crisis to reach out.  Sometimes a short conversation, the right information, or being pointed in the right direction can make a real difference.

If you’d like to access additional support or make a formal appointment, you can also connect with Wellbeing Services online here.

Your wellbeing matters, and we’re here to support you throughout your time at La Trobe.
