Support for study, stress and life.
Whether you're juggling assignments, work, family responsibilities or just trying to find your place on campus, looking after your wellbeing matters. The good news? You don't have to figure it all out on your own.
From professional support and study help to community programs and volunteering opportunities, here are some of the services and resources available to help you feel supported at UTS.
UTS Counselling
UTS Counselling offers free and confidential support for a range of personal, academic and wellbeing concerns. Whether you're feeling stressed, struggling with motivation or navigating challenges outside of uni, their team can help.
They also run workshops and provide resources that can help you build practical skills for managing study, stress and life.
UTS Psychology Clinic
Looking for affordable psychological support?
The UTS Psychology Clinic provides services through a not-for-profit teaching and research clinic. Appointments are delivered by provisional psychologists in the final years of their training under the supervision of experienced registered clinical psychologists and neuropsychologists.
As a student, you can access therapy services at a concession rate of $15.
Ally Network and gender affirmation support
Being able to show up as your authentic self can make a big difference to your sense of wellbeing and belonging.
There are a range of initiatives at UTS to support LGBTQIA+ students, including the Ally Network and gender affirmation support. Whether you're looking for practical guidance, information or a sense of community, there are people and resources ready to support you.
“I decided to become an ally after I met this wonderful student at Mardi Gras who told me for the first time she felt truly herself and accepted. Everyone has the right to always feel that way and know that others around them want that too.”

UTS Accessibility Service
If keeping up with your studies feels harder than it should, you're not alone.
Did you know that the Accessibility Service supports students with a wide range of disability, health, mental health and learning needs, including less visible experiences such as ADHD, autism and learning differences?
The team can work with you to explore academic adjustments and practical support that can help make university more manageable.
“When you’re in a safe learning environment, all those daily anxieties fade away or dim, and you’re able to focus on what’s more important to you.”
Natalia, Bachelor of Advanced Sciences (Pre-Medicine)
Safety Caseworker Team
Support is available if you have experienced or been affected by gender-based violence.
UTS Safety Caseworkers provide free and confidential support to students and staff. They can help you understand your options, connect with services, develop safety plans and navigate UTS processes if you choose to make a report.
UTS Students' Association
Need advice, support or someone in your corner?
The UTS Students' Association offers a range of free services and resources for students, including advocacy, welfare initiatives, peer support and equipment loans.
Whether you're looking for practical assistance, hoping to connect with a student collective or simply need to borrow a calculator, they're here to help make your time at UTS a little easier.
TalkCampus
If picking up the phone or booking an appointment isn't your thing, there are other ways to find support.
TalkCampus is a free peer support app available to all UTS students. It connects you with students around the world, offering a safe space to share experiences, connect with others and access support whenever you need it.
The platform is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Find connection through volunteering
Looking after your wellbeing isn't always about seeking support. Sometimes it's about finding community, purpose and connection.
There are plenty of ways to get involved at UTS, whether that's through the SOUL Award, becoming a Peer Networker, supporting the Bluebird Pantry or joining a student society. Volunteering can be a great way to meet people, build skills, contribute to a cause you care about and make your university experience richer.
“You don't have to deal with everything by yourself. It can be easy to convince yourself that everyone else is managing better than you, but you never really know what someone else is going through.”
