Counselling

UNDA offers free, confidential counselling and psychological support in a safe, professional environment. Our counsellors and psychologists assist with issues like anxiety, stress, depression, grief, relationships, gender and sexuality concerns, financial difficulties, and addiction. Counselling helps students develop strategies to improve mental well-being and achieve academic success.

Respect @ UNDA

The University of Notre Dame Australia actively participates in the "Respect. Now. Always." initiative, a nationwide effort led by Universities Australia to combat sexual assault and harassment within university communities. This program strives to raise awareness among students and staff, emphasising that such behaviours are unacceptable, and ensures that support services are accessible and appropriate.
