It is coordinated and funded by the Graduate School. The Graduate Teaching Program draws on the expertise of a wide range of staff from across the campus in a weekly schedule of seminars and practical activities under the guidance of an academic coordinator. The primary aim of the Graduate Teaching Program is to help ensure that students teaching in the University have a successful and enjoyable introduction to university teaching. All medical consultations will be charged for, but most of this charging will be bulk billed to Medicare. The Overseas Student Health Cover covers the cost for international students.
Physiotherapy is available at a discounted fee for students.
There are significant occupational health risks associated with long hours of writing or keyboard work. Postgraduate students are particularly at risk of pain in the arms, upper back and neck while writing a thesis or research papers. The University's Occupational Health and Safety Unit provides advice and courses on appropriate hazard management practices for research students. Along with courses on chemical, biological, ionizing radiation and laser hazards, the Unit offers a course in keyboard skills, emphasising safe computer work practices and touch-typing. The association helps students deal with problems that they may face at a more local level, such as supervision, administrative, or resource problems.
