Health and wellbeing
At Deakin, we nurture individual and collective wellbeing to ensure our students, staff and the wider community feel safe and supported.
Student mental health and wellbeing strategy
Deakin's commitment to students extends beyond books, assignments, exams and grades. Nurturing and promoting personal health and wellbeing allows students to thrive so they can reach their academic, personal and career potential. Our student mental health and wellbeing strategy identifies and minimises risks and promotes positive mental health and wellbeing.
Student health promotion plan
We care about every aspect of the student experience, including the mental, physical and emotional health of our community. Our student health promotion plan curates specialist expertise across a range of areas, enabling students to thrive in a safe, supportive and inclusive environment.
Staff support services
Deakin promotes and supports mental health and wellbeing of staff by fostering an environment of care, safety, inclusion and support.
Wellbeing services for students
We offer a range of services to help students be their best selves. Onsite, bulk-billed medical centres and free counselling services provide respectful and confidential care. Multifaith prayer spaces and chaplains welcome people from every religion. And on-campus, childcare centres and specially equipped parent rooms help parents and caregivers balance work and family life.
