Advocacy Factsheet: Services
Quick Reference Service Finder
WUPA's free advocacy service is focused on resolving academic problems e.g. in marking, teaching, or supervision. However, your time at uni might also have some non-academic problems, so we've compiled a list of organisations in these areas.
Remember, the University offers a free counselling service. You can make an appointment by calling 02 4221 3445, or just drop in to the Counselling Services on Level 3 of Building 11.
