Counselling
Adjusting to university life can be difficult. It involves meeting new people, adopting new routines, skills and coping with extra expenses. This is coupled with the demands of study and life outside university.
Everyone at Victoria University (VU) is responsible for ensuring a safe campus environment and we have emergency guidelines in place so you know what to do in case of an emergency.
Counselling services provides professional services designed to assist students in their personal, psychological and social development; they support student academic success and provide counselling wellbeing resources.
Specialty staff in other departments are available to provide advice to students on a range of other issues including housing, finance, health, student progress and welfare.
