No matter what your New Year’s resolutions may be, we can help you make the most of the year ahead by showing you how to increase your energy, reduce feelings of stress and feel more connected to your fellow students.

Do you know about our all-abilities Safe Spaces?

Be fearless. Be proud. Be accessible. Come and join the DeakinACTIVE Safe Space program! Every Wednesday from 7am–10am*, DeakinACTIVE invites people of all genders, abilities and identities to join the Deakin Fearless movement and train at any of our in-campus health facilities at no cost – and with no obligations.

If you have any kind of physical, sensory or mental disability, or are from the LGBQTIA+ community, we encourage you to come and work out with us. Lights will be dimmed and the music low for a welcoming sensory environment for everyone. The main aim is to get you all moving in a safe and welcoming environment and feeling comfortable to do so!
