Appointments with health professionals
All Swinburne students have access to medical, counselling and psychological services. Follow these steps to see a health professional.
Step 1. Register
Register once for all future health and wellbeing services.
Step 2. Make an appointment
Medical
Contact the health service at your campus to make an appointment with a nurse, doctor (GP), psychiatrist or psychologist.
Note: You don't always need an appointment to see the campus nurse during opening hours, but you need an appointment to see a GP.
Counselling
To access counselling, call our team on +61 3 9214 8483 to discuss your options.
You will need to complete the triage process before your first appointment, which lasts around 20 minutes. This time will allow you to discuss your situation and needs.
Triage sessions are available by appointment 9.30am to 4.30pm, Monday to Friday and are filled on a first come, first served basis.
You can book a triage appointment online. This appointment will be at Hawthorn campus or by telephone. If there are no times available, call the clinic to discuss.
Open Universities Australia (OUA) students may access Swinburne counselling services but also have access to OUA's dedicated counselling service.

- student ID (or photo ID if you're not a student)
