Please Note: The Learning and Teaching Unit at UniSA helped compile these pages.

The Learning and Teaching Unit provides a free and confidential counselling service for all students. Therefore we encourage any students who are experiencing worry or distress to please drop in and speak with a counsellor before these difficulties impact upon their study and health. Learning Connection can also help students to develop strategies for managing exam stress and anxiety on a one to one basis or in a group session.

For more information about how to make an appointment with a counsellor, students can click here.
