New! A Student-Led Wellbeing Space At The ANU - Help Make It Happen

The ANU is creating a new, student-led service dedicated to wellbeing, connection, and support. We are looking for 6 ANU students (postgraduate, undergraduate, international, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, and students with lived experiences) to join a newly established Working Group, that will consult and co-design this service with the ANU community.

We would love to hear from passionate students interested in making this a reality. As part of the Working Group, you will help shape what this space looks and feels like, how it works and what it does, so it can make a difference to student wellbeing on campus. This initiative is a key action from the ANU Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategy.

What you’ll gain:

An opportunity to contribute to meaningful, student-led safe space
Experience in co-design, collaboration, and leadership
A chance to advocate student voices and make meaningful impact on mental health and wellbeing

If you are enthusiastic about improving student wellbeing and creating a supportive campus environment, we encourage you to apply.

Are you interested? Please send us a maximum one-page Expression of Interest via email to the Inclusive and Respectful Communities Team at inclusive.communities@anu.edu.au by 8 May 2026. Please say why you’d like to join and what you hope to contribute. You may also wish to review the Terms of Reference for additional details.
