Clemente

Clemente is a free university program offered in partnership with the Australian Catholic University. It is open to any interested people, but especially those who have suffered trauma or setback in their lives.

Many Clemente students are striving to deal with complex issues such as mental illness, disability, addiction, unemployment, homelessness, or family breakdown. By studying arts subjects, the Clemente program helps these people re-engage with their community and better understand the world around them. There are no costs to students whatsoever, and upon completion of four subjects, students receive a Certificate in Liberal Studies.

Benefits of the Clemente program include increase self-esteem, improved social connections, more structured lives, and an opportunity to exercise ones intellect and imagination. Upon completion of the Clemente courses, students are encouraged to continue studying towards a full degree.
