When exams hit, it’s easy to feel like everything else has to stop — including looking after your mental health. But that’s the exact time when looking after yourself matters most.
My Wellbeing, now available on OASIS, is a tool designed to help you manage stress, stay focused and support your mental health in practical, flexible ways. Developed in collaboration with Curtin psychologists, it’s grounded in the Five Ways to Wellbeing framework, and it’s designed with real student needs in mind.
Here’s what it can do — and how you can use it during the most stressful weeks of semester.
1. Get support that matches how you’re feeling
The My Wellbeing tool starts by asking one simple question: How am I feeling? Based on your response, it recommends specific resources that are relevant to your current state of mind.
Whether you’re feeling anxious, unmotivated, overwhelmed or just curious about improving your mental wellbeing, the recommendations are tailored — not random.
2. Access a range of resources, quickly
The tool includes:
- Short articles
- Informative videos
- Interactive workshops
- Reflection exercises
- Crisis support contacts
You can also filter resources by time (e.g., 5-minute reads or 20-minute workshops) and by type (e.g., mindfulness, focus, motivation, etc.).
When you’re short on time and energy, you can still find something that fits into your day — even just five minutes between study blocks.
3. Build skills, not just cope
While it’s great for handling stress in the moment, My Wellbeing also helps you build long-term skills — things like emotional regulation, time management, resilience and mindfulness.
These are the kinds of skills that make exam periods easier, but also support your mental health year-round.
4. Emergency support, if you need it
The tool includes a dedicated section for emergency and crisis support, including phone numbers and services you can contact 24/7. In high-pressure times, it’s crucial to know where to turn if things get overwhelming
5. Designed for you, by the people who get it
This isn’t a generic wellbeing app. It was built specifically for Curtin students, with direct input from Curtin psychologists. That means the content is relevant to your experience — academically, emotionally and socially. It understands what university pressure actually looks like, and it’s built to support you through it.
How to use My Wellbeing

You don’t have to wait until you’re burned out to care about your mental health. During exams, using My Wellbeing can make a big difference — not by adding more to your to-do list, but by making it easier to look after yourself in small, doable ways.
It’s not about being perfect. It’s about being okay — and staying that way.
