Health & Wellbeing

Health & Wellbeing

The Australian Ballet School takes a holistic approach to nurturing excellence. Our students receive world-class training supported by comprehensive health and wellbeing services that care for the whole person—body, mind, and spirit.

We are committed to developing dancers who are not only technically outstanding but also resilient, self-aware, and well-equipped to thrive in the demands of a professional career.

Conditioning & Physiotherapy

As part of our student care program, all students have access to expert-led group education and personalised support in:

Injury prevention and recovery
Physical conditioning and fitness for dance
Nutrition planning to support energy and performance
Mental preparation for performance
General physical and emotional wellbeing

Our dedicated health team works closely with each student to help them maintain peak condition and navigate the physical demands of elite training.

Counselling

Mental health is a vital part of our wellbeing program. Students have regular access to a qualified School Counsellor for confidential one-on-one sessions. We prioritise emotional wellbeing and psychological resilience as essential components of a dancer’s success—on stage and beyond.

Child Safety Standards
The Australian Ballet School is committed to Child Safety based on the Eleven Child Safety Standards that align with the Victorian Child Safe Standards and related child protection laws. The School is committed to the protection of all children from all forms of child abuse and demonstrates this commitment through the implementation of stringent recruitment and induction processes alongside Child Protection Policies designed to keep children safe.
