At ECU, we recognise that our commitment to the mental health and wellbeing of our students and staff goes hand in hand with our success. ECU students and staff are supported to develop and maintain positive mental health and resilience. Our Mental Health Strategy 2021-2024 outlines all aspects of our university-wide approach to mental health and wellbeing.
Our commitment to mental health and wellbeing is also captured in our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Blueprint. Our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Blueprint guides our endeavours and has been shaped by our staff and students to make sure it is a commitment shared across the university.
ECU is recognised as a Mental Health First Aid Gold Skilled Workplace 2019-2023. Staff are encouraged to sign up for Mental Health First Aid training.
We understand that our students are individuals with differing needs that may change during their studies. We recognise our support services must be tailored to diverse needs and be adaptable to address individual circumstances. Students at ECU can access a range of services to support their mental health and wellbeing.
Our Counselling team also run a range of workshops addressing the challenges of studying at university.
Staff at ECU are supported with a range of services and programs.
