The majority of struggling students are invisible to their institution until it is too late.
Most remain unseen until they disengage, underperform, or leave. By then, the welfare failure has already become a financial one.
From enrolment to year-end intelligence
Parachute's five-pillar assessment identifies students at risk from day one, making the invisible visible before the cost compounds.
Enrolment Assessment
Students complete a 10-minute health assessment upon registration, establishing a baseline across all 5 Parachute health pillars from day one.
Early Identification
Vulnerable students are identified immediately and funnelled to support services, before they disengage, underperform, or leave.
Pulse Checks
Health tracking at key stress points throughout the academic year, exams, deadlines, transitions, monitoring change over time.

one complete picture
The pillar scores are the inputs. The outputs are the intelligence that help universities manage better, connecting health data to academic outcomes, smarter resource allocation and evidence of what support spend actually delivers.
Mental Wellbeing
Positive mood, energy and emotional functioning, identifying susceptibility to depression, where low wellbeing is concentrated, and where capacity is being lost.
Health Conditions
Long-term chronic conditions requiring ongoing management that impact daily capacity and academic performance.
Brain Health
Cognitive function across memory and concentration domains, reflecting the brain's capacity to support focused study and academic performance.
Lifestyle Behaviours
Daily habits including physical activity, nutrition, sleep, substance use and social connection that collectively shape health outcomes.
