Health advice

Health Service staff provide health advice and information on a wide range of issues including; HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs), pregnancy, chronic illness, stress, smoking cessation, mental health and illness, diet and exercise, contraception and lifestyle issues.

Confidentiality is strictly adhered to as is professionalism and a non judgemental, inclusive and caring environment. When necessary health service staff also act in a support and advocacy role and refer clients to other service providers either within the University (for example Deakin International) or externally (private providers or specialist clinics).
