RMIT Union has compiled information on work rights, students and the law and also information on safety for women international students. The links to these are below:

In addition to these fantastic sources of information, in 2003 the RMIT legal service produced a booklet called: "FAIR GO" - A Guide to the Law in Australia for International Students. Students could contact RMIT Student Union for a copy of this booklet. Unfortunately the RMIT Legal Service is no longer open due to VSU funding cuts.

The University of Queensland Student Support Services runs an orientation program that also highlights student safety and legal obligations, employment information and obligations, and student health. The UQ SSS website link is below with online information for students.
