ACU, in line with its Mission and Values, is committed to supporting the physical and mental wellbeing of all staff.

Support is provided through the Employee Assistance Program (EAP), funded by the University and which offers staff members and their immediate family members access to professional and confidential counselling.

ACU is seeking responses from suitably qualified organizations for the supply of an EAP to ACU staff members and their immediate family members.
