This retrospective analysis provides important information regarding the proportion and distribution of mental health conditions and service utilisation amongst Australian university students. There is clear scope for increased access to specialist care, renewed efforts to decrease stigma and increase rates of presentation (particularly amongst international students and males), greater support for general practitioners and more rigorous routine data collection and reporting, both within and across universities nationally.
