Taking care of your physical AND mental health can seem daunting, but there's always help out there!

Bring a mate, share some chips and start a conversation – it could change a life!

R U OK? Day is dedicated to reminding everyone that any day is the day to ask, “Are you ok?”, and reach out to, support, and check in on the health of the people around you.

This year, batyr are bringing the event to UniSA!

At every campus we're running an event for you, the students, to come and enjoy some hot chips with a friend and check in with them. We'll provide the chips, the great vibes, the comfy seats and all the smiles; you supply the conversation.

Come along, enjoy yourself and be a part of something.

You could be the difference that someone needs.
