Student support services

If you're an international student in the Northern Territory and face any kind of problems, whether it's financial stress, mental health and wellbeing concerns, or housing issues, there are local organisations available to offer you a helping hand.

Moving to a new country can be challenging in many ways, but remember that you're not alone. We have collated a list of local organisations that offer support to international students in case of emergencies or otherwise. These services are free, safe and confidential. Don't hesitate to reach out to them if you need help.
