Feeling anxious, stressed, or overwhelmed late at night? You're not alone, and we recognise that students’ lives don’t stop when our wellbeing services close. 
During consultation with students about wellbeing at Murdoch University, it was highlighted to us that there was a gap in supports for students when our services close. To bridge that gap, we are launching the Murdoch University After Hours Wellbeing Line. 

This free and confidential phone service is here to support students facing urgent mental health or wellbeing concerns when the Counselling Service and The Den are closed.

You’ll be connected with trained crisis support specialists who can:

• Listen and help you through difficult moments
• Offer immediate emotional support
• Refer you to Murdoch’s on-campus services for follow-up care

Your privacy is respected — conversations are confidential, and any information shared with Murdoch’s wellbeing team will only be used to help connect you with appropriate support.

Call 1300 806 852

Available: Weeknights (from 4:30pm to 8:30am) and 24/7 on weekends and public holidays 

What the service offers: 

• Immediate support for students in distress or experiencing a mental health crisis. 
• Confidential conversations with trained mental health professionals. 
• Referral and follow-up: Information may be shared with Murdoch’s Counselling and Wellbeing teams to ensure you receive appropriate care. 
• Call-back option if you prefer not to wait on hold.
