We understand that studying in a new country can bring unique health challenges, and your health is our priority. The UTS Health Clinic on-campus provides high‑quality, accessible healthcare by General Practitioners (GPs) who care for all UTS students, staff, and their families.
Scam awareness
A scam is a dishonest and often illegal attempt to trick someone into giving money or personal information. International students in Australia can be targeted because they may be unfamiliar with local systems, laws, or common scam tactics. UTS has designed helpful tips to recognise a scam and keep you cyber safe while studying abroad.
