AllĀ the support your child needs to be successful and confident at uni and beyond.
Even after nine years, more than a quarter of Australian undergraduate students still have not completed their degree.Ā The prevalence of anxiety and depression is higher in our uni student population than background rates. The transition to university can be hard, but Unilateral is here to make it easier.
A coach in your family's corner
Australian uni students suffer from metal health challenges more than the background population, but students with a sense of belonging are more likely to succeed. Whether you are a parent, teacher or student - you belong here! Join our community and get all the guidance to set you up for success. You should also see our page for parents of university students.
Thank you
The transformative power of education is incredible. To pay it forward, I'll be donating 5% of the profits from any purchases to the World Literacy Foundation who are on a mission to ensure that every child builds their literacy skills to reach their full potential.
Why this matters
1 in 5 uni students will drop out of their studies and the average cost of an incomplete course is $12 000. Even successful students end up with significant debt from prolonged study.
Testimonial: "As a teacher and former principal... I love what you are doing with the Unilateral website... It feels like a massive gap that your website is going to help fill." Teacher, former principal, Victoria
Welcome!
Whether your child is the first in their family to think about attending university or comes from a long line of professors, whether they will be arriving straight from school or are mature aged, whether they are feeling confident about uni study or extremely anxious, whether they have a learning difficulty, a health challenge, they're an elite athlete, they have carer's responsibilities, whether they're an international student or domestic - welcome!Ā

Hi, let me introduce myself.
I'm Dr. Hilary Coleman. I'm an introvert, I'm awkward in social situations, I love chocolate, cups of tea, running and reading, but most of all I love teaching.
I've had more than 15 years of experience in education, having been both a permanent school teacher and now a university senior lecturer. I've worked with many hundreds of students to reach their full potential.Ā
Unfortunately,Ā the university statistics for attrition and poor mental health are not positive and that's something I'm working to do something about. Whether I can help you with my free Welcome online coaching resource, my free New Uni Student ChecklistĀ and Uni Glossary, orĀ Uni BootcampĀ or a more in-depth course, I'm so glad you're here - welcome to the start of the rest of your child's life!
I'm also a big believer in making sure my students always benefit from the evidence. It's too easy in education for someone to sell a quick fix. That's why you'll find all the sources for anything I distil and present for you in the About page so you can check it out for yourself.Ā
