Get to Know the Guild Part 2: Guild Services

The Guild funds a bunch of services for students to make your time at UWA as relaxed and rewarding as possible! Whether it’s pitching in some wholesome volunteering hours for your transcript, chatting to the legends at Student Assist about any issues you might be having, or hunting down your lost property, the Guild is the first place you should start.

GSC

The Guild Student Centre is the Guild’s hub, now located straight across from Student Central in Guild Village. The amazing team there are a wealth of knowledge about student life at UWA (they are students themselves!), and if they don’t know the answers, they can point you in the right direction.

At the GSC you can:

-          Get your stickers, including Guild member, Postgrad and International student stickers.

-          Collect a FREE Student Diary & wall planner

-          Pick up equipment hired out through LibCal

-          Pick up clubroom keys

-          Check on your lost property (all lost property handed in on campus will eventually make its way here!)

-          Borrow a calculator for an exam or test

-          Ask for directions to pretty much anywhere on campus

-          Find out more info on the Guild, and our departments and services

-          Drop off club posters to be displayed

-          Sign out table tennis equipment to play a set or 2 on the tables at James Oval

Not sure who to ask about something, or where to go? The GSC is the best place on campus to start 😊

Volunteering

Guild Volunteering is your go-to for awesome volunteering opportunities with literally hundreds of life-changing organisations, both at UWA and in the wider community.

Volunteering is a great way to have an impact, gain valuable skills, and have fun in a friendly, inclusive environment of like-minded people. Guild Volunteering provides these opportunities all year through day trips, regional trips and events as well as regular micro-volunteering activities for those looking to volunteer on a more casual basis.

TIP: Week 3 is National Student Volunteer Week - keep an eye out for opportunities to make a difference in the community!

DID YOU KNOW? You can have your volunteering hours transcript-recognised! Find out how here.

Student Assist

Struggling at uni or at home, or just want someone to talk to? The lovely team at Student Assist are a group of Social Workers and a Wellbeing Counsellor, who offer totally FREE advice, counselling and advocacy for students on everything from academic issues to welfare or financial concerns.

There’s a whole heap of information and resources available on our website as a great first place to stop in! uwastudentguild.com/get-support

You can also book appointments from here. For anything urgent, you can always call in on 6488 2292, or send an email to [email protected].

Secondhand Bookshop

The Secondhand Bookshop in Guild Village is so much more than just a bookshop – you’ll find textbooks, gifts, unit readers, secondhand lab coats and heaps more here, all at very reasonable prices! And once you’re finished with your textbooks (or your regular fiction books), you can hand them in to the Bookshop and they will sell them for you. You keep 75% of the profits and put in 0% of the effort for it – how good.

You can also pick up your Transperth Smartrider here to make public transport super easy – not to mention concession fares 🙌

From O-Week this year the Guild will also be your exclusive retailer for UWA's new merchandise line, in partnership with Champion! Check out the pop-up shop next to the GSC in Guild Village for UWA, Guild and PROSH apparel.
