Wollotuka wellbeing
Dedicated free counselling support and wellbeing resources for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students. Counselling support can help you improve your mental health and wellbeing as you navigate your way through life both as a student and beyond.

- See the Wollotuka wellbeing resources to help you get moving in the direction you want to go and navigate your studies and achieve future goals.
- Learn about the Wollotuka wellbeing story.
The resources are based on Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander perspectives of health and wellbeing and Contextual Behavioural Science: bringing knowledge systems together to help students and community. These resources were developed in consultation with our local community, The University of Newcastle, our staff, students and Nguraki.
