Student Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2021 - 2024
The University of Adelaide is an inclusive and supportive community that promotes positive mental health and wellbeing.
Our vision recognises that positive mental health and wellbeing is a fundamental contributor to student success throughout their educational journey and beyond. Responding effectively to the diverse range of student health and wellbeing needs is a key aim.
In consultation with students and staff, the University of Adelaide has developed the Student Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2021-2024 . The Strategy guides University wide opportunities to support and improve the mental health and wellbeing of our students throughout their university experience.
Progress is reported annually to the Vice-Chancellor’s Executive and Academic Board and made available to staff and students. A baseline audit of existing activities was conducted in 2023 to identify potential gaps and shape opportunities for the future (see 'reporting').

Implementation
A Governance Committee consisting of both staff and students has been established to oversee and monitor the delivery of the Student Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategy across its 5 Action Areas.
Information about new projects and initiatives are promoted via Staff and Student News and the Student Health and Wellbeing landing page.
