Possible IT service disruption
Between 9:00am and 5:00pm on Saturday 12 April, critical merger work is being carried out on core IT infrastructure. Whilst no outage is expected, there is a possibility that service disruptions could be experienced on the University of South Australia and Adelaide University systems, so please factor this into any study plans you may have on this day.

Please also note this is separate to the outage scheduled for Saturday 5 April. We appreciate your understanding as we work to integrate the University of Adelaide and University of South Australia systems.

Navigate trauma with EMDR group therapy sessions
Have you experienced a stressful or traumatic event within the last 12 months that still impacts your daily life and studies?

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy designed to help individuals process trauma, reduce distress, and improve emotional wellbeing. Facilitated by UniSA counsellors, this EMDR group therapy will give you the opportunity to reprocess distressing memories in a safe and supportive group setting, helping to reduce the emotional charge of the trauma and build resilience.

Want to participate or find out more? Visit UniSA’s EMDR Group Therapy website to register your interest and browse the FAQs.
