About us
ANU Thrive is a student-led initiative which aims to promote student wellbeing. We offer all ANU students free consultations to discuss anything of concern, as well as a variety of events and informational sessions throughout the year. Whether it's a chat with a trained student-leader, a basketry or cooking workshop, or a financial information session, our team's aim is to positively contribute to your time at university. Please get in touch, or check out our socials for more!
Free wellbeing consultations
We offer consultations on Tuesdays between 10am and 1pm and Wednesdays between 1pm and 4pm, with the option of a face-to-face or virtual meeting . Whether it's something worrying you or you simply want a listening ear, we’re here to have a chat. After listening, if needed, we can connect you with the right support on and off campus, help you find useful resources and information, and create a self-care plan. Please note that other times for consultation can be arranged if needed, by emailing us.
Please make a booking here or email us. This is a free and confidential service for all ANU students.
Please note:
- We are currently offering both in-person and online (virtual) appointments, however, this is subject to change depending on the COVID-19 situation.
- If you are currently in mainland China, you may prefer a Zoom meeting to our default Microsoft Teams platform for connectivity reasons. Please send us an email at student.wellbeing@anu.edu.au upon booking if this applies to you.

ANU Thrive consultations are offered both in-person (face-to-face) and virtually (online). When making a booking, you'll be asked to select your preference. If you'd like to change your selection, please just send us an email at student.wellbeing@anu.edu.au.
In-person consultations
In-person appointments will take place in a private consultation room on Level 3 of the Di Riddell Building. However, as level 3 is currently staff access only, we need to meet you outside and accompany you in. When you arrive at the Di Riddell building, please wait outside at the bottom of the stairs and give our team a call on 02 6125 2409. Alternatively, for lift access, you can wait on the ground floor outside the lifts (enter through the front automatic door and turn right). We will then meet you at the lifts.
Virtual consultations
You will have received an automatic email confirmation containing a link to a Microsoft Teams meeting for the time of your appointment. Microsoft Teams is a platform available to all ANU students and staff - you just need to use your university ID and password to login for access. If for any reason this is not available to you, we can easily arrange a Zoom meeting instead. Please let us know at student.wellbeing@anu.edu.au.
Events and social media
We have a variety of events running throughout the year, where you can meet like-minded students and even learn something new! Events may have capped attendance, so please book ahead through our event page. Keep an eye on our Facebook and Instagram pages to stay up to date.
