Our initial mission is to support local small businesses in promoting a positive health & lifestyle across their workforces; however, we do have limited capacity to deliver to individuals & will be more than happy to chat to you at the event.

Can I park at the Wellness Centre?

Visitors can request a pre-booked space in the Victoria car park, which needs to be arranged in advance by a member of staff. Spaces are limited. A number of pay and display facilities are available on Harrington, Victoria 2 and the Foster car parks

What types of healthcare services will be available?

Our primary service is the Health Check, which involves a series of health & lifestyle questionnaires & physical assessments, including blood glucose & cholesterol levels. However, our unique position as a university allows us to grow into a whole array of common health services.
