Support while you are overseas

Your safety and wellbeing while overseas is very important.

If you need any assistance with health, counselling and wellbeing while studying overseas, we recommend you contact your overseas host in the first instance as well as International SOS. You will also have access to this support from the University of Newcastle on return from your overseas experience.

If you are concerned about inappropriate, concerning or threatening behaviour while travelling, there are a number of support avenues you can contact:

Extending your time on a Semester Exchange Program

If you are currently overseas and you wish to extend your exchange program, you need to meet the basic criteria:

  • You must be able to get an additional 30 units of credit for your second semester

If you fulfil the above, please contact the Global Experience Team
