Student Services reception The reception area is the hub of Student Services. Appointments can be made at reception for counselling, careers, chaplaincy, study skills and the medical service. Counselling Service Counsellors provide a free, professional and confidential service. Among other things they can help with personal and relationship issues, academic or financial problems, study skills difficulties, course and career planning, etc. The service is available to students and staff.
Counsellors run a variety of groups throughout the year which are advertised around the campus.
This Unit offers study skills and other support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students undertaking mainstream courses. The Unit works closely with government departments, the Victorian Aboriginal Education Association Inc., and other appropriate groups, including many local Koori communities to ensure that Koori students have access to tertiary education which will provide them with the opportunity to achieve the best possible outcomes. The Aboriginal Tertiary Support Unit also works closely with campus staff in the promotion of cultural awareness, as well as the development of Koori inclusive curriculum. Whilst the primary role of the unit is the support of Koori students, the unit actually offers a wide range of resources and services to the whole University and wider community. Centrelink representatives are regularly available on campus.
