COVID-19 (coronavirus) advice for the UQ community - STUDENTS - Parents

If you are worried that your family member is sad or depressed, encourage them to speak to a counsellor with Student Services on how to cope in this time.

It is also very important to stay in touch with friends and family. UQ provides opportunities for students to make friends and connect with other peers via the Virtual Village.

• Australia has one of the best medical systems in the world. If your family member were to become unwell and require medical assistance, they would never be turned away, and they would be well cared for.
• They can call the National Coronavirus Hotline 24 hours a day, seven days a week on 1800 020 080.
• People with coronavirus symptoms are assessed at Respiratory Clinics and not the general doctor’s clinic. That means you do not need to worry if they need to see a doctor for another reason.
• We encourage you to regularly check the Australian Government coronavirus COVID-19 health alert for up-to-date advice on what to do.
