Physicians and staff provide a safe and inclusive environment for people of all backgrounds, cultures, beliefs, abilities and sexualities.
Security on campus
RMIT Security is available 24 hours a day. If you need assistance, let RMIT Security know you’re under 18 so they can follow processes to keep you safe.
