Student Welfare

As an international student pursuing your dreams and working hard towards your goals, you may find yourself facing an array of challenges that can be both overwhelming and daunting. The COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting financial recession have added to these challenges, creating emotional and financial distress at different levels in our lives. These life stressors can cause you to ignore your physical and mental health, which could ultimately lead to the inability to maintain emotional wellness.

To ensure that you are able to balance your study and work while taking care of your mental and physical health, it is essential to practice self-care and seek out support when needed. At Ausgate, our student well-being officer is available to assist you when you feel stressed out or emotionally overwhelmed. With your consent, we will connect you with the right support services and advocate on your behalf to ensure that you receive the necessary care and attention.

Our goal is to help make your journey as an international student in Australia as smooth as possible. By taking care of your mental and physical health, you will be better equipped to achieve your study goals and stay happy and healthy throughout the process. Additionally, connecting with social groups can help you to build a support network and feel more connected to your community.

It is important to know that support and assistance are available to you. By taking advantage of these resources, you will become stronger and more resilient, able to recover from even the most challenging situations. We encourage you to prioritise your well-being and to seek out the support you need to thrive as an international student in Australia.
