Welfare Department

The Welfare Department provides a broad variety of initiatives, some that are seen on and around campus, such as Union Mart (see page XX) and regular free meals, and some that go on behind the scenes, such as advocating for increased mental health care and maximising safety on campus.

The Welfare Department works to allocate resources to the genuine issues impacting students, such as the rising cost of living, and the isolation of moving to a new place.  

As your representatives, please reach out to discuss how we can best ensure your welfare at the University of Melbourne.
