Values

Our values are the heart (durrung) of who we are and what we stand for at RMIT. They guide what we do, how we make decisions, and how we treat each other.

Values unite us with a shared understanding that shapes how we live and work together on a global scale. Our continued success comes from living our values every day and giving our people the opportunity to define what each value means to them.

With collective input, we can create a values-led culture that we all want to be a part of, a culture where people love working and are empowered to deliver life-changing experiences for our students, our partners and the community.
