Student support

Check out the range of services available to assist you in your studies with us.

Your first few days at university can be overwhelming, from making new friends and managing your resources to getting help with your course or even just finding the right lecture room. UWA offers a wide range of student support services dedicated to helping you get your studies off to the best start possible and supporting you over your journey with us.

Study and career support

Before university even begins, do your homework about accepting your offer and going to Orientation with UniStart. There you'll find useful dates, events and locations of services you may need in your first few days. Our first-year coordinators and first-year advisers are also on hand to help out with any issues you may have. They can provide advice on everything from how to enrol to fixing clashes in your timetable.

There’s no one better to help you through your first weeks than someone who has been in your shoes before. UniMentor teams you up with a student who has already been studying at UWA for a year or two and who can answer all your questions about university life.

When health problems arise, our on-campus Medical Centre is your destination for comprehensive medical care. We also have a professional and confidential counselling and psychological service for students, offering referrals to specialists on and off campus, should you need them. The service is free for all students. For more spiritual guidance, we have chaplains who can provide pastoral care.
