Student Counselling Service
The counselling service is a short-term, professional and
confidential service. It is available to all students free of
charge, to address any academic and personal issues that
impact on your studies. Our counsellors come from a
range of professions and have postgraduate qualifications,
skills and experience in helping people with a wide range
of personal, psychological and study-related difficulties.
On-Campus Facilities

ECU Bookshops on all campuses have a well-stocked
range of course textbooks as well as general books,
stationery, clothing (including nursing uniforms), selected
medical instruments, stamps, selected software, and
memorabilia. The bookshop database is also available
online, where you can purchase directly from the website.
Childcare Centre/Créche
Many of our students have young children, and we
understand that it can be hard to balance the pressures
of study and family life. We have professional and
well-equipped childcare centres for children up to six
years of age at both metropolitan ECU campuses. Visit

Coffee Shops
Each campus has coffee shops that provide great coffee
and a range of meals. All venues have wireless facility,
which means you can study while you eat!

All ECU students have access to 24-hour on-campus
computing facilities. The labs at the Joondalup and Mount

computers are fully loaded with the latest software. The

and features PCs and work spaces for laptops along with
wireless and Ethernet options.
Library
With a brand new award-winning Library and Technology
Centre at Joondalup and major refurbishments
completed at our Mount Lawley and South West

library service. Each library provides electronic databases,
book and journal collections, e-journals, videos, computer
files and multimedia packages, as well as facilities for
study and research. You may also borrow material at any
metropolitan campus using the library’s self-service
Easyloan machines. Your borrowing privileges also extend

ECU students have access to more than 3,600 student
parking bays across the three campuses. You are required
to purchase and display a vehicle parking permit to
make use of these facilities. Alternatively, ECU offers an
online matching service to facilitate car-pooling to and
from ECU.

Your ECU student ID card is a multi-purpose SmartCard
