Sustainable Development Goals
Griffith University is aligned with the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and committed to tackling global challenges around good health.
Are you a new student? Do you need vaccines and serology for your degree?
Book an appointment with the nurse to discuss mandatory vaccine and serology requirements for your degree. All initial course immunisations must be seen by the nurse in the first instance, who will then organise an appointment with the doctor.
Influenza vaccinations
The annual influenza vaccination continues to be the most important measure to prevent influenza and its complications. Influenza vaccinations are available from Health and Medical Services at Gold Coast and Nathan campuses. Please contact your preferred location to book an appointment.
Drug and alcohol support
Dealing with alcohol and drug concerns on your own can be difficult. The Australian Government provides assistive services and treatment options via ADIS, including online self-assessment tools and 24/7 phone support.
Sun safety
It's important to slip, slop, slap all year round in Queensland, but now that summer is upon us, the need for caution is even higher. Check out all the ways you can be sun smart if you're going to the beach or staying outdoors for long stretches of time.
