New in-house caregiving model for Under 18 international students

RMIT is enhancing support for its under 18 international students with the launch of a new in-house caregiving model for those on Option 2 care arrangements.

Rolling out on 15 March 2026, ahead of the Semester 2 intake, the Care Program will offer comprehensive, personalised support to help students - and their families - feel confident and connected throughout their RMIT journey. The new model strengthens our commitment to student wellbeing, engagement and to the overall student experience.
