Overcome difficult emotions with the support of the Counselling Service
|
|
We understand that personal issues can affect your studies sometimes, and the Counselling Service is here to support you. While our experienced counsellors offer short-term support to help you resolve these issues, there are self-help resources and workshops that can help you develop skills to better manage stress and other challenges.
Keep the following tips in mind when coping with challenging situations:
• Don’t suffer alone – talk to others or seek help
• Keep sleep times consistent
• Try to get at least 30 minutes of exercise on most days
• Think positively about yourself and your achievements
• Set realistic expectations and avoid putting undue pressure on yourself
Learn more about managing stress through this great article on our website. Remember, if you feel it’s getting too much, you can reach out and have a chat with one of our counsellors.

Discover how we can improve the ageing experience in regional Australia
|
|
As we are moving towards an ageing population, it is important to explore ways to help people age well. Compared to their city counterparts, older people living in Australian rural communities have less access to public resources such as shops, transport and health care, and life enriching resources such as family, friends and social opportunities.
Join this lecture with Dr Helen Barrie, Director of the Australian Alliance for Social Enterprise at UniSA, and discover how we can improve the ageing experience in rural communities.

Oanh Truong: Trendsetting in Vietnam with e-commerce
|
|
Oanh Truong, a UniSA alumna, is making waves in Vietnam's e-commerce industry by leading the fashion category for TikTok Shop Vietnam.
Oanh completed her Masters in Marketing at UniSA, after which she worked in Adelaide and Melbourne before returning to Vietnam in 2019. Realising the abundant opportunities in e-commerce, Oanh's passion for technology and e-commerce led her to work for Lazada, a leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia, before moving to TikTok Shop in early 2022 to manage the fashion category.
While enjoying the lifestyle and a wide range of activities in Ho Chi Minh City, Oanh feels Australia has had a profound impact on the person she is today. “I feel so privileged that I chose to study marketing at UniSA. It gave me a very good and profound foundation for what I’m doing now.”
