When it comes to creating a healthy campus community, UniSA is committed to working together with our students as partners in this mission. We achieve this through creating opportunities for active collaboration between students and staff in University-wide health promotion initiatives such as UniTopia; a free wellbeing event for all students held in May and October each year.
As a student you can also initiate or participate in a Wellbeing project by making a suggestion or joining the University-wide Wellbeing Steering Group as a student representative.
The Wellbeing Internship established in 2017 makes it possible for students in credit bearing courses to be placed within UniSA and contribute to student-led projects with discipline specific support from academic or professional staff.
To find out more about successful student-led projects that have already made a positive impact on the health and wellbeing of UniSA’s community check out the list below:
UniSA's Overseas Student Health Care provider Bupa was once again instrumental in supporting the Healthy Food Market stall at UniTopia in May and October, coordinated by USASA. The Healthy Food Market stall incuded dietitian-led fun activations with students and staff on how specific foods can benefit physical and mental health.
USASA student leaders and social work students worked together on the student-led Alcohol Awareness Project at UniTopia in October. Students facilitated a fun activation during UniTopia and also developed and online Life of Bot game which engaged hundreds of students. The Alcohol and Wellbeing webpage was developed providing students with online resources and information on how to reduce alcohol-related harm.
Fifty student leaders and Higher Degree Research students completed Bupa-sponsored Mental health First Aid training on campus delivered by an accredited trainer as part of UniSA's ongoing commitment to increasing mental health literacy among our students.
Eat Well, Be Well healthy eating campaign was a student-led project that involved UniSA’s new food vendors and over 700 students during UniTopia. The aim of this Wellbeing project was to educate and encourage students to make healthy food choices on and off campus.
