This is a short term, solution focused approach to assist individuals to enhance their emotional, physical and mental health. Initially six (6) appointments are available for all staff and additional appointments can be approved on a case-by-case basis by Staff Services, HR. The initial appointments (ie the first six) may be made during work time provided the period of absence from work is kept to a minimum; for example, by using an office close to home or UTS, scheduling the appointment around lunch time, or the start or end of a normal work day. Staff may be required to take sick leave or other leave to attend additional appointments so should seek advice on appropriate arrangements from Staff Services, HR.
