Dear Colleagues,
This year’s end is fast approaching and like many of you time seems to be flying by, Christmas will be here before we know it. I am pleased that towards the end of the University year more staff and students are coming on our campuses, though still some challenges in this space. We can all learn from each other and what is working around in person engagement. It would be great for everyone to share on TEFMA Community their success stories in this space.
The TEFMA board have been planning a busy 2023 to include more in person engagements including the TEFMA conference in Sydney in September 2023 and several workshops as well as continuing the online Webinar series. We would love to see you all in person in 2023.
UPCOMING WEBINARS
The 2022 calendar is coming to an end, our 2022 Webinar Calendar is finishing the year with Zoe Roloff and Spiro Fatorus from Deakin University on Reinvigorating a University Campus Through Integrated Water Management. The webinar will be held at 1 PM, AEDT, 24 November. Registration is free for TEFMA Members - register here.
CHARITY PARTNER
TEFMA is proud to announce the Suicide Call Back Service as our 2022/2023 Charity Partner!
Suicide Call Back Service is a free helpline for Australians aged 15 years and over who are at risk of suicide, worried about someone who is at risk, or bereaved by suicide.
The helpline is available 24/7 nationwide and offers telephone and online counselling. Professionally trained counsellors answer calls and online chats. Each counsellor has specialist skills in working with suicide-related issues, and they can help you work through the pain and distress you may be feeling. The service also offers up to four additional telephone counselling sessions for people who may benefit from short-term counselling.
MEMBERSHIP DATABASE CLEANUP

Email the TEFMA Secretariat to obtain a full list of members under your Institutional Membership to review your affiliate members and ensure all people who require access are signed up. There is no limit to the number of affiliates an Institutional Membership can have.
