You probably don't realise this yet, but as a new ECU student you've got your own team. You may not see them, or ever need them for that matter, but there are a lot of staff here who are invested in your success as a student.
We've even got a Student Success team who offer academic as well as general support and advice throughout your journey at ECU.
The Wellbeing Precinct
This is an integrated space on Joondalup Campus that's dedicated to your physical and mental wellness.
It contains three different services – Psychological Counselling Support, the ECU Health Service and The Living Room.
Location is JO 6.201.
The Living Room
The Living Room is a quiet and calming space where you drop in to have a relaxed chat with a trained peer who understands your student journey.
Whether you're stressed about your studies, have things going on at home or are feeling a bit isolated in a way that's impacting your studies, The Living Room team will help with recommendations on how to tackle whatever challenge you have.

Access and Inclusion
Just like the wider world, university is full of people with different backgrounds, different challenges and different needs.
It’s why we have a service that gives you practical support to help you overcome any barriers to uni study.
For example, you might identify as sexual or gender diverse, have a disability, or be experiencing a mental health issue. You might also be caring for someone at home who has a disability or medical condition.
Our Access and Inclusion team provide a free and confidential service that respects your right to privacy.

ECU campuses have terrific sports and gym facilities, plus opportunities to join group fitness classes, social sports teams or attend regular healthy activities.
Being physically active positively stimulates your student brain and helps you reduce the stress of assignment deadlines or exams. You'll sleep better too!
ECU Sports and FitnessSupport for elite athletes
ECU recognises and promotes the value of combining both sporting and academic aspirations. It's why we're a member of the Elite Athlete Friendly University network.
