Ready to thrive? Check out our new DeakinWELLBEING app – and you could also win $100!

At Deakin, nothing is more important to us than how you’re feeling. While classes and grades are important, we want you to enjoy your university experience and thrive – personally as well as academically.

That’s why we’re so excited to launch DeakinWELLBEING, our new app that’s your one-stop-shop for all things health – both physical and mental. It’s available free to all Deakin students, no matter where you’re located.

Based on the five ways to build wellbeing – connecting, being active, taking notice, keep learning and giving – the app makes it easy to find balance and develop healthy habits.

The interactive, fun and bite-sized activities, resources and information enable you to take small steps every day to build positive habits, coping skills and resilience.

Some of the amazing features of DeakingWELLBEING include:

a digital assistant/self-care coach named Charley, who’ll help you get started and keep you motivated
a personalised wellbeing self-assessment, with a report recommending services, resources and emergency services if required
interactive tools, videos and podcasts that can enhance relaxation, focus, energy, mood and productivity in minutes, and improve your coping skills
a dashboard so you can keep track of your wellbeing goals and see real-time results that highlight your progress
opportunities like wellbeing challenges to connect with your Deakin community and support your success at uni and beyond
ongoing resources and support.

Need other support or information?

Our Health and Wellbeing Centres offer a range of services to support you during your time at Deakin.

These services are designed to help you stay healthy and safe – physically, mentally and spiritually. In most instances, they’re available free of charge. We encourage you to reach out for help whenever you need it.

We’re committed to educating students on the importance of mental health – which is a broader concept than just dealing with any problems you may face. Mental health is also about helping you to feel your best, whatever your personal situation. Find out more about our Student Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategy.
