Your mental health
Positive mental health allows you to lead a more enriched life and perform better at work. We offer a range of mental health support options.
Campus Care operates as part of the University Health Service and provides information, advice and support in managing inappropriate, concerning or threatening behaviours.
We offer six free confidential counselling sessions a year for staff and their families to discuss personal and work related issues.
Managers and supervisors can call an Employee Assistance Program manager or senior psychologist to discuss, or get assistance on, people management issues.
You can take your complaint to an external agency such as the NSW Ombudsman, the Anti-Discrimination Board or WorkCover NSW.
The University of Newcastle acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands within our footprint areas: Awabakal, Darkinjung, Biripai, Worimi, Wonnarua, and Eora Nations. We also pay respect to the wisdom of our Elders past and present.
