EXCITING NEWS – LAUNCHING A NEW RECOVERY & WELLBEING COLLEGE LEARNING SYSTEM

We are excited to announce the upcoming launch of a new Recovery & Wellbeing College Learning System, designed to enhance the way we support students and manage course-related information.

This system will streamline key functions and provide a user-friendly digital platform for both Recovery & Wellbeing College staff and students. The system is set to go live on Tuesday 9 December 2025 for enrolment of courses scheduled for Term 1, 2026.

Important Note for Existing Students:

As we transition to this new system, existing student data from the old system will not be migrated.
All existing students will be required to re-register in the new system as new students. Please select "NO" to the first question when you enrol for the first time in the year system.
We understand this may cause some inconvenience and we will provide support to assist with re-registration.

How many courses can I enrol in?

We generally recommend that you enrol in no more than 10 per term. This ensures your learning and growth with the College is sustainable and manageable, whilst helping other students to have capacity to attend.
Most courses occur more than once a yar and you're very welcome to enrol in a later term.

Key Features of the New System:

• Secure Login Credentials: Each student will receive individual access with a secure username and password.
• Personal Dashboard: A user-friendly dashboard displaying key information at a glance.
• Student Profile: Students can manage their personal details and preferences.
• Course Enrolment & Withdrawal: Easy self-enrolment into available courses, with the option to withdraw if needed.
• Current Courses: A real-time view of courses the student is currently enrolled in.
• Course History: A complete record of previously attended courses (starting from the launch of the new system).
• Available Courses: A full list of upcoming courses that students can browse and enrol in.

Benefits:

• Increased transparency and independence for students.
• Simplified administrative processes.
• Improved tracking of participation and engagement.
• Enhanced ability to personalize student support.

Next Steps:

• Training and Support: User manual is available in the student dashboard, under the “system user manual” tab and support can be provided provided to assist with re-registration.
• System Launch: The new system will be available from Tuesday 9 December 2025 for enrolment of courses scheduled for Term 1, 2026.
• Feedback Opportunity: Feedback will be welcomed following the launch to help us continue improving the experience.

If you have any questions or would like to support with re-registration, please contact the Recovery & Wellbeing College on 9113 2981 or seslhd-recoverycollege@health.nsw.gov.au

Thank you for your support as we take this important step in improving our Recovery & Wellbeing College services and we look forward to continuing your learning and wellbeing journey with us!

About the Recovery & Wellbeing College

Recovery describes a personal journey people experiencing mental distress undertake to rebuild and live a meaningful life. The Recovery College provides education that promotes healing, wellbeing and recovery. We aim for people to become experts in their recovery, emotional wellbeing and achieve their goals and aspirations.

All Recovery College courses are co-written and co-facilitated by Recovery and Wellbeing Educators.  At least one educator is a person with a lived experience of mental distress or suicidal crisis and the other a health care clinician.

Whether you experience mental distress, or suicidal crisis or both, support someone who does or work with South Eastern Sydney Local Health District, we offer you the opportunity to learn about recovery, wellbeing and inspire people to lead hopeful and meaningful lives.  All the courses are friendly and welcoming and we provide tailored student support if needed.

The South Eastern Sydney Recovery & Wellbeing College is currently FREE of charge and open to people 16 years of age and over in our community:

• With a lived experience of mental distress, or suicidal crisis and live in the South Eastern Sydney Local Health District catchment area.
• Their families, carers and support people.
• Other residents of South Eastern Sydney Local Health District catchment area.
• Staff, students and volunteers of the South Eastern Sydney Local Health District.
• Staff of the Recovery & Wellbeing College partner organisations.
