We are not there to compensate for your losses

We are here for education, not as a profit and loss statement for anyone

The only rights we have are the ones we are ready to fight for. ✊🏼

We have come across many students who have inquired us about any fee reduction provided by the RMIT and it is sad to know that RMIT will not be doing any such reduction. Moreover, the Australian Government has announced fee hikes and more funding cuts. We need you all to stand with us to show RMIT and the Australian Government that we shouldn't be ignored.
