At BetterU, Flinders’ central digital hub for student wellbeing, we believe that the best advice comes from within our own community. We are currently evolving into a community co-designed publication, and we are seeking the expertise of our academic and professional staff to help students “design a good life”.

Whether you are a researcher in a health-related field, an academic with “survival hacks” for placement stress, or a professional staff member who has mastered the art of the work-life juggle, your insights can make a tangible difference in a student’s journey.

We are looking for staff contributors to help us build out our four wellbeing pillars:

🤸‍♂️ Body: Practical, evidence-based tips on nutrition, physical activity, sleep, and sustainable health habits.

👫 Together: Insights on building community, navigating healthy relationships, and finding belonging at Flinders.

🧭 Spirit: Reflections on finding purpose, clarifying values, and personal growth during university life.

👩‍🎓 Study & Learning: Evidence-based study tips, time-management strategies, and academic resilience.

How you can contribute

We know your time is limited, so we offer a “Co-Pilot” approach to content creation. You don’t need to provide a polished article; we can help you “translate” research publications, assignment topics, or even rough dot points into relatable, student-focused content.

For a great example of how academic research can be translated into personal wellbeing advice, check out this recent post: The Light I Didn’t Know I Needed
