Walk with us in solidarity as RMIT students and staff come together to take a stand against family violence at this event hosted by Respect Victoria.

Join RMIT's Prevention and Respect team at this year's Walk Against Family Violence hosted by Respect Victoria on Friday 20 November.

Join the RMIT community in showing your support for people impacted by violence and our shared commitment to preventing gender-based violence and harm.

Date, time, location and registration

Walk start time and location: The walk will commence at 10am at Birrarung Marr (Upper Terrace).
Where we're walking: The walk will begin at Birrarung Marr Hilltop (Birrarung Marr, Upper Terrace) and end at Treasury Gardens (approximately 700 meters). This is the same route as the 2025 walk.
RMIT meeting point: RMIT students and staff are encouraged to meet the RMIT Prevention and Respect team at 9.30am at Federation Square opposite Flinders Street Station before the official walk begins at Birrarung Marr (Upper Terrace).

Want to join us for breakfast first?

We'll then make our way to Federation Square together, either walking or by tram.

Breakfast location and details will be shared with everyone who registers.
