Transport assistance

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.

Did you know public transport is now free across Victoria until the end of April 2026? What could be better than a discount? Free of course, so perhaps it's time to skip the car and jump on PT to save money and get to uni hassle free! Find out all about your options here.

NB This also means that no applications for a free PTV Travel Pass will be accepted until the end of April.

Campus Parking Solutions

Subsidised parking permits for those attending Waterfront, 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.)
