Health & Wellbeing at UNE

Settling in to a new life at university in a new country can be stressful. That's why we want to take some of the anxiety out of starting at UNE through our various health and wellbeing programs.

The aim of these programs is to help settle students into life in Australia while addressing key areas of concern that have been flagged by previous students. The key point of difference for our programs is that many of them are also open to spouses and children of students studying at UNE. We care about our students but understand sometimes they don't come alone and we want the whole family to feel welcomed and supported

For a full list of what we have on offer for international students (and spouses where applicable), visit our Health & Wellbeing at UNE page.

Meet our Ambassadors

Do you have insight into life at UNE, as a student or what it's like living in Armidale or Sydney? Perhaps you know all about navigating the public transport system in Sydney or are in the know about our study centres. Whether you are a student, staff member or alumni of UNE, we want you to share your knowledge and experience!

This program is our way of communicating with prospective students about the UNE experience from a range of perspectives. Students may have questions about specific courses or content, what Armidale or Parramatta are like, or what their potential career prospects might be after they graduate. Our UNE Ambassadors help with providing this important information to prospective students through real-life and personal experience. Human-to-human. Real conversations with real people!

#ConfiCon (19th June):
Organised by UNE International with the inspiring Confidence Coach Anita van Rooyen, this high-energy confidence conference empowered students to break through self-doubt, build public speaking and networking skills, and challenge limiting beliefs.
The fire ceremony was a powerful moment where students let go of what holds them back and stepped into a stronger, more confident version of themselves.
The room was buzzing with courage, connection, and a sense of community.
