Mental health services

All Monash staff are entitled to free and confidential mental health services. If you’re experiencing any of the following, you might want to access counselling services:

  • anxiety, depression or emotional distress
  • personal and/or family relationships
  • grief and loss
  • addictive behaviours
  • eating or body image concerns
  • struggles with self esteem
  • sexuality or gender identity
  • life transitions.

The fact that you have sought counselling – and anything you have spoken about in counselling – is private and will not be shared with anyone, including those from Monash.

Our counselling service is prohibited by law from sharing your information with anyone else. A mental health professional can only release your information to someone without your consent to protect yourself or others from serious harm (or if they have been sent a court order to do so).
