By virtue of being enrolled with the University of Sydney, these particular students have access to additional health services. Specifically, The University Health Service and Student Counselling are two on-campus health clinics that students can attend with assistance under their BUPA<\/span> OSHC Insurance policy.<\/p>\n The University Health Service (GP appointments)<\/b><\/p>\n Address: Level 3 of the Wentworth Building on the Darlington Campus. <\/em><\/p>\n Hours: Mon. to Fri., 8.30am to 5pm during the teaching year.<\/em><\/p>\n Phone: +61 2 9351 3484<\/em><\/p>\n Students can call to make an appointment or book online. Appointments with this practice are shorter in nature, usually 10-15 minutes long. Students will need to pay upfront for appointments, submit a claim for reimbursement with BUPA then be reimbursed via an Australian bank account.<\/span> Students will need to take their BUPA<\/span> OSHC card and photo ID with them to the appointment.<\/p>\n Student Counselling<\/b><\/p>\n Address: Level 5 Jane Foss Russell Building on the Darlington Campus. <\/em><\/p>\n Hours: Mon. to Fri., 9:00am to 5pm during the teaching year.<\/em><\/p>\n Phone: +61 2 8627 8433 Students can either call, or text (+61 488 884 429) or email<\/a> the clinic to book appointments. The Student Counselling clinic offers face-to-face and telehealth counselling sessions depending on student’s preferences. Like the GP clinic, students will need to pay upfront for appointments, submit a claim for reimbursement with BUPA then be reimbursed via an Australian bank account<\/span>. Students need to take their BUPA<\/span> OSHC card and photo ID with them to the appointment.<\/p>\n In the scenario that a student needs to attend a clinic on the weekend or outside of standard business hours, the BU Study Abroad Sydney team would recommend students attend the practices detailed in the sections above. In these scenarios it is more beneficial to use your ISOS insurance instead of BUPA. You can find more information regarding this on the Health Insurance<\/a> page.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n www.bu.edu\/sarp<\/a><\/p>\n www.fullstop.org.au\/<\/a><\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n US State Department Advice for LGBTQI+ Travellers<\/a><\/p>\n Reach Out LGBTQIA+ Support Services<\/a><\/p>\n QLife – LGBTQIA+ Resources and hotline<\/a><\/p>\n Twenty10 – Youth LGBTQIA+ service<\/a><\/p>\n Sydney LGBTQIA+ Resources\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nCall 000 if you require immediate\/emergency medical attention.<\/strong><\/h4>\n
