Student Wellbeing Connect

Student Wellbeing Connect provides support for you to manage your own wellbeing and reach your goals. We recognise that that life can be difficult and sometimes we need help to navigate and find our way through it.

We provide support for multiple situations where just seeing a counsellor or obtaining study adjustments with AccessAbility & Inclusion might not be enough to assist you in your situation, or you might need something slightly different.  We can connect you with many different services both internal and external to the University that might be able to help you in your situation and act as a point of contact to help guide you through. Our team members are tertiary trained professionals with social work or psychology qualifications who hold vast experience in mental health and case management.

How do we work?

Student Wellbeing Connect:

  • Focuses on you the student as an individual and listen to understand your goals.
  • Supports you with the situations that concern you in your university or personal life.
  • Discusses strength-based ways to keep you on track with your goals
  • Assists you to find and link into University and community-based services and resources.
  • Respects your privacy and confidentiality.
  • Works in collaboration with the other Wellbeing services and any existing services you may be in touch with.
  • Liaises with other areas of the University such as academics, accommodation, and Student Advocacy.
