The University recognises that the term mental health covers a broad spectrum of problems and issues ranging from promoting the mental well-being of all students to responding to the needs of students with severe and enduring mental illnesses. The policy outlines the University's position on mental health support to students and the action that the University will take to respond to concerns. The Director of Student Welfare Services has the lead role in managing and co-ordinating the University's management of student mental health problems.
