Tip sheets

Mental health and wellbeing

Looking after your mental wellbeing is every bit as important as looking after your physical wellbeing – both for your studies and leading your best life in general! Our tip sheets will help you navigate some of the most common mental wellbeing issues for students.

Suicidality and Self-Harm Information

A crisis can happen at any time, to anyone, and when it does it can leave us feeling lost and confused about how to get help. These tip sheets may help you cope and understand with distressing thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It is best to reach out for help from a loved one, a professional or help line if you experience this level of distress.

Please note, if you are in immediate danger, or in an emergency situation, call police, ambulance or fire services on 000 (triple zero).

If you are feeling overwhelmed, confused and unsure what to do and the University is closed, please call the After-Hours Support Line.

Academic performance

University can be a time of stress and many students benefit from support to make the most of their study and learning. Our tips sheets will help you build strength to being a successful student. For further assistance, see the range of academic support options on offer.
