We are from the RUSU Welfare Department with centres at the City, Bundoora and Brunswick campuses. At the centre we have Compass Coordinator staff member on site as well as Youth Mental Health Trained Peer Support volunteers.
Compass Drop In Centre is a stepping stone for students to information and services within RMIT and out in the community.
At Compass, we are here to support students by offering advice, information and referrals regarding a wide range of psychosocial issues students experience. Being a university student is hard and there are many life stressors that pop up during study. We offer support in areas such as but not limited too mental health, relationship issues, homelessness, financial stress and many more.
Another main part of our service is the Compass Cupboard, each campus has a cupboard with free food and toiletries for students who are experiencing financial stress.
This booklet has a whole host of activities, crafts and other relaing and mindful entertainment that you can use to help you relax during the lead up to exams.
