We like to say that living at UniHall, gives young people the opportunity to live independently, with a safety net. You choose how you will spend your time, safe in the knowledge that UniHall has in built support to help you when you need it.
Your safety and wellbeing is our biggest priority. You can feel safe knowing that four staff members live on site, together with a team of Residential Advisors (student leaders), who provide after hours support if you need it. Being owned by UWA means the University's security team conducts regular patrols at the college and is available to walk residents home if they're studying late on campus.
UniHall's support networks include of a team of Residential Advisors, three Residential Life Staff, our Deputy Principal and Principal.
A large team of senior students are employed by University Hall to be the first layer of support for all residents.
Every floor in the UniHall houses are assigned with a Residential Advisor who support residents throughout their stay. Residential Advisors help develop a community among residents on their floor, answer every day questions about life at UniHall, and are able to direct residents to support avenues they may need to access.
Three Residential Life Staff provide support and pastoral care to all residents.
Every student has a Residential Life Staff member allocated to them, who they can meet to discuss anything from how to get involved in the community or planning events for the community, to accessing help and support.
Our Head of Student Programs, Jason Taboni, also coordinates our Pathways to Leadership Programs, with assistance from our Residential Life Coordinator, Laura Bardotti. These programs offer an array of events and opportunities for students to engage in the community and further their academic studies and career progression.
Our Head of Wellbeing, Kate Moore, leads the planning and delivery of residents well-being initiatives as well as support and accessibility pathways.
The Residential Advisor and Residential Life teams work closely with our Principal and Deputy Principal to ensure all residents in our community are safe, happy and healthy.
Our Principal and Deputy Principal are active members of the UniHall community, and work alongside our student committees to provide an engaging college experience that aligns with our vision.
With living away from home comes the responsibility of getting your own meals, and doing your own cleaning and washing – which can be time consuming and can take a bit of getting used within your weekly schedule.
In your first year at UniHall living in a Standard Room, you’ll get a helping hand with 16 meals provided in the Dining Hall each week (an average of 2 per day, but you can use them however you want across the week), as well as a fortnightly room clean to keep on top of things. You’ll still need to do your own washing, but we have laundry rooms where you can do this (so no need to lug your weekly washing down to a laundromat).
Having a quality internet connection is important for your studies, which is why you get free Wi-Fi and internet as part of living at University Hall. Because we’re the University’s residential college, the Wi-Fi connection you use at uni is the same Wi-Fi connection you’ll use at UniHall.
We know the importance of maintaining physical health and its impacts on your overall wellbeing. That’s why you get a free gym membership from our friends at UWA Sport for the period of your lease.
You’ll have access to their quality gym equipment and fitness classes as part of your membership.
Providing the environment for you to successfully study and live on campus is what we’re all about. So you’ll find lots of little strategies put into place around University Hall to do just this – from having loads of study rooms across campus, to having quiet times and stressbuster events during exam periods.
You’ll have access to tailored events and workshops to support your uni studies through our Academic Advancement Program. These events will help you fine tune your uni academic skills (think referencing, statistics, report writing etc) so you can excel in your studies.
