04 Apr 2018
Benestar

The Employee Assistance Program (EAP),​ previously provided by Davidson Trahaire Corpsych​, has a new name and a new brand. Benestar, which means ‘wellbeing’ in Catalan, captures the essence of the shift towards holistic health and wellbeing for employees.   

Benestar​ now provides free confidential counselling, coaching and wellbeing services for all UNSW staff and their eligible family members. The service can help you achieve lifestyle, work, personal and family goals and assist you with managing work and life experiences, iss​ues or concerns that arise from time to time. ​ 

Your wellbeing at work is crucial in helping you achieve your full potential. To help you stay healthy and happy at work, the University offers a wide range of benefits, services and facilities ranging from flexible working to counselling services.
