RMIT Welfare Support
Food vouchers and cash grants are available to students who are experiencing financial crisis. Being in financial crisis usually means that you have less than $1,000 in the bank and that you are not able to pay for your basic living costs (rent, food, bills). If you need financial support information, please speak with an RMIT welfare advisor.
