Student health and wellbeing framework
At Deakin, we're committed to supporting the physical, social and emotional wellbeing of our students, creating a safe and supportive university environment where everyone feels included and connected.
Supporting student health and wellbeing
Student health and wellbeing are fundamental to learning, engagement and success. Building on Deakin's existing work, our Student Health and Wellbeing Framework brings together prevention, early intervention and response through a coordinated, whole-of-university approach.
Our vision is to foster a connected and inclusive university environment that empowers students to thrive through research-informed, student-centred and coordinated health and wellbeing approaches.
