Supportfor those who care
For some, it’s a hectic work
schedule, for others it’s
keeping up with the kids.
But what if you’re a student
whose time outside study
is dedicated to caring for
a friend, family member
or loved one living with
a disability or long-term
illness?
Being a carer is a unique
occupation and involves
juggling many different
responsibilities. You’ll often
have to place the needs of
your loved one first and
this might be difficult when
you have assessment due
or study commitments that
you need to meet. That’s
why the USQ Student
Services team provide
a range of services to
help you manage your
responsibilities as both
student and carer.
Here’s what’s on offer from Student Services
and the wider USQ community to support you:
At USQ, we know a lot of students are juggling
competing priorities alongside their study.
