Wellbeing and mental health

University staff work collaboratively with students, offering both one-off, one-at-a-time appointments and ongoing support as appropriate.

Student Services delivers support through a matched care model that considers the individual needs of each student and evidence-based practice. The services provided depend on a student's needs and circumstances, including location of study.
