Student Wellbeing
Student wellbeing is central to your success at Murdoch. We offer a range of support services to help you manage challenges, maintain balance, and participate fully in your studies.
TalkCampus – 24/7 Peer Support.
Being a student can sometimes feel overwhelming or isolating. There may be moments when something doesn’t feel quite right, but you’re not sure how to explain it — or who to talk to.
TalkCampus is a free, confidential peer support app that allows you to connect anonymously with other students from universities around the world. These are students who understand the pressures, uncertainties, and ups and downs of student life.
The platform provides a safe, supportive space to talk — anytime, anywhere.
What TalkCampus offers
- Anonymous peer support from fellow students
- Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
- Accessible worldwide
- Available in multiple languages
- A supportive starting point when you need to talk
TalkCampus does not replace counselling or professional support, but it can be a helpful first step, especially when you don’t want to carry things on your own.
If you would prefer professional support or need additional help, you can also access Counselling Services and Access & Inclusion support through the University
