Implementing the Student Wellbeing Framework
Discover how the Australian Student Wellbeing Framework can support wellbeing in your school by exploring a range of Australian case studies and resources.
The Australian Student Wellbeing Framework supports Australian schools to provide every student with the strongest foundation possible to reach their aspirations in learning and in life. The Framework outlines five principles that promote better safety, wellbeing and learning: Leadership, Inclusion, Student Voice, Partnerships and Support.
On this page, you will find case studies demonstrating how different schools have used the Framework to promote whole-school wellbeing in each of these areas. Explore each case study to discover videos, support materials and downloadable resources to use within your own school setting.
You will also find further resources applicable within the classroom, for school-wide initiatives, the broader school community and staff professional learning. All resources are curriculum-aligned and support the principles of the Australian Student Wellbeing Framework.
Looking to promote student-led learning? Check out our student topic pages where students can filter by year level to explore age-appropriate wellbeing information and resources independently.
