UNE Healthy Campus
Welcome to UNE Healthy Campus – Your Path to Wellness!
UNE Life are proud to facilitate the UNE Healthy Campus Program for UNE. An internationally accredited wellbeing campaign dedicated to enhancing the lives of our UNE community members. Our mission is simple yet impactful: to foster mental, physical, and social health at UNE.
What can you expect from UNE Healthy Campus? We’re gearing up to host a series of exciting events and activations designed to help you prioritise positive outcomes, leading to a better work-life balance. No matter which UNE campus you call home, we’re committed to creating and launching events that actively involve you and your teams. Stay tuned for updates by following #watchthisspace.
Our goal is to raise awareness of the critical pillars of wellbeing: physical, social, and mental health. We firmly believe that a healthy campus is more than just academic excellence – it’s about nurturing a healthy body and mind.
We invite you to step away from your desk, connect with colleagues and friends through engaging activities or nutritious gatherings, and focus on your overall wellbeing.
This initiative is made possible through a collaboration between esteemed organisations including FISU, UNE, UNE Life, Manna Institute, and SportUNE. Together, we are dedicated to promoting the holistic health of our staff and students.
Join us on this journey to a healthier, happier you. Discover more about UNE Healthy Campus and our partners by visiting www.fisu.net/healthy-campus.
