Come along, meet new people and take a break from study life
The Living Room Events
The Living Room is a peer-led, wellbeing service for ECU students, based on both the Joondalup and City campuses.
Peer Support Advisors are fellow students who understand the challenges of being at university. They're here to listen, guide, and help you find practical solutions. No appointment needed. Just drop in during our opening hours.
The Living Room also hosts free events throughout the semester to help you improve your well-being, connect with others, and manage stress. See below for upcoming events.
