What services can I access?

The following services are available through the wellness program:

1. Free Flu Vaccinations

• The University purchases the vaccine for Lismore and organises an appropriately qualified person to administer the vaccination.
• At Gold Coast, Tweed Heads and Coffs Harbour campus employees make an appointment with their GP to receive the flu vaccination. The University will compensate employees the difference between the scheduled fee claimed on Medicare and the actual cost charged by their GP.

Free Health Seminars

• A number of brief seminars will be held across the University throughout the year. The seminars will cover a range of topics such as nutrition, stress management, natural remedies and the benefits of regular exercise.
