Transport assistance

Getting to uni made affordable

Don't let transport costs limit your campus experience. Our Transport Solutions program helps ensure you can attend classes, use university facilities, access support services, and fully participate in uni life regardless of your financial situation.

We offer practical, flexible support for public transport, parking, and travel to intensive units. These aren't handouts they're a helping hand in your academic success and designed to help you build sustainable transport routines.

Public Transport Solutions

7 or 30 day Myki cards for regular campus commuters or those who need to attend placements.

Campus Parking Solutions

Subsidised parking permits for those attending Waurn Ponds or Burwood campuses.

Intensive Unit Travel Support

Reimbursement support for compulsory on-campus intensives (up to $200 for travel and accommodation *Individual limits apply.)

To be eligible you need to:

  • Not be within easy walking distance of campus.
  • Be enrolled in on campus units.
