Murdoch understands the many challenges faced by students and offers a range of support services to assist you throughout your student journey.
If you are feeling overwhelmed and need:
- some extra study support,
- someone to chat to,
- assistance with tenancy and accommodation,
- food and other essentials,
help is always available. Check out the different free services available for students across all schools and programs.
We can’t over-emphasise how important this service is to your university journey. Our Student Success Advisors can provide advice about your studies, wellbeing, how to get the most out of your university experience, and assist with a range of questions and concerns.
They are your first point of contact for support. If you’re ever in doubt, reach out to a Student Success Advisor or visit one of our myMurdoch Advice locations for help.
Academic Skills & Study Support Tools
Need a little extra support with your studies? Murdoch students have free access to a range of academic and numeracy support services, resources, and workshops. Whether you need help online or on campus, support is available to help you succeed.
Studiosity
If you're studying early in the morning, late at night, or on the weekend and need support, Studiosity is available to help.
Studiosity is a 24/7 study support platform available to all students through myMurdoch Learning (LMS). Students can access instant support through an AI-powered assistant, chat with a subject specialist, or submit an assignment draft to receive writing feedback within 24–48 hours.
As a bonus, Studiosity includes an Assignment Calculator to help you manage procrastination and stay organised throughout the semester.
Grammarly
All Murdoch students have access to a free premium Grammarly account. Grammarly analyses your writing and offers suggestions for grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, and style.
Grammarly can be integrated into Microsoft Word — which Murdoch students also get for free — to assist in real time as you write your assignments.
Study Success Skills Toolkit
The Study Success Skills Toolkit is an online, self-service resource hub designed to help you develop the skills you need to succeed in your studies. The toolkit includes videos, guides, and lessons covering everything from assignments and exams to academic writing, research skills, and numeracy. It also provides support for referencing and academic integrity.
The toolkit includes a range of interactive modules that you can work through in any order.
Need help with your studies? Book a free 45 minute on-campus or online consultation with one of our friendly Support for Learning academics.
Bookings can be made through a Peer Academic Coach or Student Success Advisor, and students also have the option to directly contact the Support for Learning team.
Assignment Workshops
Assignment workshops are held throughout the study period and are open to all students. Topics include navigating myMurdoch Learning (LMS), planning for success, study skills, and exam preparation.
Students can also attend a Navigating Academic Integrity Workshop to learn how to use AI ethically and effectively, improve their paraphrasing skills, and reference confidently.
Workshops are available both online and on campus.
Peer Support
Sometimes you need advice from someone who has been in your shoes, which is why our Peer Academic Coaches and PASS leaders are here to help.
Our Peer Academic Coaches (PACs) are successful students who offer free, individualised 20-minute drop-in or online consultations for all Murdoch students. Peer Assisted Study Sessions (PASS) are study groups for specific (challenging) units.
Want to get involved in campus life and meet people with a shared interest? Check out the Murdoch Guild’s Clubs and Societies. There are over 100 clubs and societies to choose from, and if you have a new idea for a club, you can start your own.
Student Assist is a free support and advocacy service run by the Murdoch Guild. It offers assistance to students with tenancy and accommodation matters, referral information, food and other essential needs.
De-stress at The Den
From Monday to Friday in the Winter Garden, join the Access, Wellbeing and Equity team for a chance to connect and de-stress. Play outdoor games, board games, express yourself through art, or simply enjoy a cup of tea and spend time with our counselling dogs while meeting new friends.
All activities are free. Learn more here or email awe@murdoch.edu.au.
Access & Inclusion
Murdoch University’s Access & Inclusion service supports students with disability, physical or mental health conditions, or those who are carers for someone with disability, to enable equal participation in study. Support is tailored to your individual needs and may include coursework and exam adjustments.
Free Counselling Services
The Murdoch University Health Counselling Service is a team of experienced counsellors who provide confidential and free support to students experiencing a wide range of personal, psychological, and study-related concerns.
In addition, the After Hours Wellbeing Line offers free, confidential phone and text support outside business hours, providing students with 24/7 access to mental health support. Call 1300 806 852 or text 0489 983 445.
Medical Service
Murdoch University Medical Service has a dedicated multidisciplinary team providing services and advice to promote the wellbeing of the Murdoch community.
They are here for all students’ general health needs and questions, offering expert care in a friendly and professional environment.
Disclosing Discrimination, Harassment and Assault
Students who have experienced or witnessed sexual or non-sexual assault, harassment, or discrimination are encouraged, when they feel ready, to disclose to an SHSO in the Access, Wellbeing and Equity (AWE) team. Disclosures can be made online via incident notification form or via the Murdoch Safe App.
All disclosures may be made anonymously if you wish. However, the University may be limited in how it can respond if information is de-identified. The more detail you provide, the better we can investigate and offer appropriate follow-up.
You can find here an extensive list of Murdoch University support services and specific tips and support services for international students.
Remember, support is always available — you don’t have to navigate your university journey alone.
