Wellbeing support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students

Explore our cultural wellbeing services if you need extra support throughout your studies.

Aboriginal Education Centre (AEC) staff are here to lend a hand during your time at Federation. They’ll listen without judgement and provide confidential and culturally safe support. You can drop in for a yarn or book an appointment to organise an individual wellbeing plan or have a counselling session.
