"Medibank was delighted to partner with students from the RMIT Master of Data Science program. The team demonstrated a strong work ethic, maintained regular progress and milestone check‑ins, and showed creativity by thinking beyond conventional approaches. They successfully solved a real business problem by automating a manual process and delivering an insightful dashboard that revealed market trends and supported informed business decision‑making."
