Services for students
Support services
We offer a range of student services to make sure you get the most out of your time at Monash, and we encourage you to take advantage of them.
Study support
All Monash students have access to academic skills support through Student Academic Success, who provide individual consultations, workshops and online resources to help you develop the habits for success at university. You can also meet with a librarian to learn about research, citing and referencing skills.
Technology services
eSolutions is the central Information Communications and Technology group at Monash University. Whether you want information about the my.monash portal or you're just having trouble printing, the eSolutions service desk is the first point of contact.
Monash Connect service centre
Monash Connect is your student service centre and our friendly staff members are here to help. See our website for forms, letters, student ID cards (M-pass), student transcripts and more.
Career Connect
Career Connect helps you prepare for the world of work with a range of career guidance services, including job application and interview skills, career coaching, leadership development programs and volunteering experiences. We’ll help you to deepen your employability skills and hone your competitive edge in the graduate employment market.
Financial assistance
Many people need budgeting support while studying. If you're having financial challenges, or just want to manage your money better, you can talk to a student adviser on your campus. An adviser will provide you with advice, support and options.
Health services
Medical clinics are located at the Caulfield, Clayton and Peninsula campuses. A team of qualified professional health-care providers staff the University Health Service and are available to provide a wide range of health care including travel advice and vaccinations, mental health, referrals, minor surgery, skin checks and pathology.
Dental and counselling services are also available for most students.
Child care
Monash has arrangements with childcare centres at the Clayton, Caulfield and Peninsula campuses. Waiting lists may apply due to high demand.
Parenting rooms suitable for changing, feeding and resting are also available at most campuses.
Diversity & Inclusion
Monash is passionate about fairness and social equity, and seeks to improve the human condition by advancing knowledge and fostering creativity. Diversity & Inclusion showcases the University's commitment to diversity by:
- managing the Ally Network that promotes Monash as a safe space for students and staff who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer (LGBTIQ)
- organising events to promote inclusiveness in the Monash community.
Spirituality
Monash University Chaplaincy provides pastoral and spiritual care to all members of the University community, of all faiths and none. Each campus has at least one resident chaplain who is available to both students and staff.
Specialised services
We also have services to cater for the specific needs of student groups.
Indigenous students
We offer culturally sensitive assistance to Indigenous students and can even help you with your application. The Yulendj Indigenous Engagement Unit, which provides support services to Indigenous students, is located at the Clayton campus and visits other campuses as needed.
International students
Moving to a new country to study can be daunting, especially if you are living away from family for the first time. At Monash we have a range of services that support you before and after you arrive in Australia. These include pre-departure briefings to help you feel comfortable from the moment you get here. We also offer a free pick-up service to take you from Melbourne Airport to your accommodation.
Rural and regional students
We offer many services to assist students from a rural or regional background. These include special-entry schemes, scholarships and student support.
Students with a disability
Monash promotes access and equity for students who have a disability, ongoing medical or mental health condition.
Study and administration services
Monash also provides help with student forms, ID cards, academic transcripts, student letters and travel concessions. See Monash Connect.
