We understand that in times of increased global tension and conflicts, some of our students, staff and the broader community are personally and deeply affected. We are a diverse university and events beyond our borders often echo in the lives of those who live, work and study here. Our values call us to uphold respect and compassion in all our interactions, especially when perspectives differ or emotions run high.
This is a time to be especially mindful of one another. A quiet moment of kindness, a check-in with classmate, or simply extending patience and understanding can make a real difference. We each have a role to play in fostering a culture of care—one in which people feel seen, supported and safe.
If you, or someone you know are in need of support, please remember that you are not alone and Curtin has a range of people and services ready to help.
This includes free and confidential wellbeing support, providing both psychological and counselling support, as well as the Guild Student Assist program which offers academic and non-academic advice.
If these concerns are affecting your studies, you may wish to consider requesting an extension or speaking with your unit coordinator to determine what reasonable adjustments can be made. To further discuss the options available to you, contact Curtin Connect.
