Equal opportunities for all

Monash University is committed to making sure everyone has equal access to education.

There are several ways to get special consideration and support, helping you gain a place and succeed in your studies.

Financial disadvantage

Students who have experienced financial disadvantage can apply for special consideration during the admission process. See Access Monash.

There are also different scholarships and bursaries in place to help fund your studies at Monash.

Indigenous students

Monash offers a broad range of services for Torres Strait Islanders and Aboriginal students. We
can:

  • help you apply for a course
  • provide financial advice
  • offer leadership and mentoring programs
  • provide additional tutorial assistance

See our Indigidenous Australian students website

Rural, regional and isolated

Students from regional, rural and isolated areas can apply for special consideration during the admissions process. See Access Monash.

A variety of support services, from finding accommodation, finding part-time work and settling into University life are also available. See Student Life and Support.

Disability

Monash wants to help you be as independent as possible. We promote access and equity for students who have a disability or long-term medical condition. Students can apply for special consideration during the selection process.

The Disability Liaison Unit (DLU) also provides extensive support services to ensure your success at Monash. The Unit is open from 8.45 am to 5 pm, Monday to Friday.

Equal opportunity for women

We believe you should be able to work and study without fear of discrimination or harassment. A key part of achieving this is actively promoting equal opportunity for women.

Women hold many research, academic and leadership roles at Monash. If you face an issue related to equal opportunity, we have dedicated staff to help you.
