Reaching Out Support

An online community to help students find answers.

Moving to a new country to study is exciting. You'll be thinking about a lot of things to make sure you're ready for this new experience and Reaching Out is here to help you with the questions you may not know how to find.

The RMIT UP Reaching Out program is designed to give international students an opportunity to ask important questions about everyday life. See below to see how Reaching Out can support you as an RMIT student.
