UniSC acknowledges its contribution to supporting the health and wellbeing of its diverse student population. The UniSC Student Health and Wellbeing Strategy seeks to build healthy life and learning environments for students, with a focus on mental health and wellbeing.
Our health and wellbeing actions are guided by the Okanagan Charter for health promoting universities and aligned with the Australian University Mental Health Framework.
What we will do
Eight action areas will guide our health and wellbeing activities.
Implement a comprehensive range of health and wellbeing training and resources to empower students to succeed.
Foster inclusive and supportive campuses within our places, spaces and people.
Ensure students have access to the right support at the right time.
Empower the student voice in the implementation of health and wellbeing initiatives.
Embed and evaluate health and wellbeing training and resources across UniSC programs.
Enhance student health and wellbeing and the sustainability of our campus communities.
Integrate health and wellbeing in university plans and policies.
Strengthen health and wellbeing partnerships to amplify our initiatives.
How we will do it
Building on the actions and outcomes of the previous student health and wellbeing strategy, our 2024 Strategic Action Plan focuses on new activities to be developed and implemented.
Successful implementation of the Strategy will require leadership and commitment across the University.
How we will learn from what we do
The Strategy takes a broad, holistic view of health and wellbeing to address the physical, mental and social health needs of UniSC students.
Evaluation of the actions outlined in the Strategic Action Plan will enable us to monitor progress, assess the impact on student health and wellbeing, and learn what works, what needs improvement, and to respond to any emerging health and wellbeing issues.
