There is a global Microsoft 365 service degradation affecting University access to Outlook email and, in some cases, other M365 applications. You are advised to use alternative communication channels. Existing enquiries submitted through the Services Portal continue to be progressed, with updates remaining accessible to students. We encourage students to regularly check their enquiries via the Portal for the latest information and outcomes, while Outlook services remain unavailable. If you need support, contact the University Service Desk on 9351 2000, Student Centre on 1800 SYD UNI (1800 793 864) or Protective Services on 1800 SYD HLP (1800 793 457). Students can connect with Student Wellbeing via the Student Wellbeing Portal.
The Multifaith Chaplaincy Centre can provide the following support.
Our chaplains come from a range of faiths and can provide spiritual guidance and leadership to all students.
Chaplains are professionals who have been appointed by their faith community and officially recognised by the University to provide spiritual support and pastoral care to students on campus. They are not direct employees of the University.
Level 2 (ground floor), Storie Dixson Wing (H10), Darlington Campus, University of Sydney 2006.
9 am to 5 pm, Monday to Friday.
Anyone in the University community – students, staff and affiliates – can contact the chaplaincy service for free and confidential support.
Since many chaplains attend the University on a part-time basis, the best way to contact them is directly through their details.
Chaplains at the University are governed by the University Chaplaincy Guidelines (pdf, 109KB).
