About
We build aspirations, provide guidance and support, strengthening opportunities for under-represented students to ensure equitable access, inclusion and success.
At Monash, we believe opportunity should never be limited by circumstance. The Access, Inclusion and Success team exists to help every student thrive.
We lead Monash’s largest peer-led programs, creating spaces where students support students. Whether you’re looking to make friends, understand university life, or strengthen your study skills, we have a program designed for you.
Our approach is simple: connection drives success. Through Access Monash Mentoring, Peer Mentoring and Peer Assisted Study Sessions (PASS), we help future students explore what’s possible and give current students the tools to excel; academically, socially, and professionally.
From improving grades to building employability skills, our programs are about more than support; they’re about belonging. Because when students learn from each other, everyone moves forward.
The Access Monash team leads the University's widening participation strategy to improve opportunities and foster success for students from under-represented backgrounds.
We work with partner schools throughout Victoria and Tasmania to deliver outreach activities in-school and on-campus at Monash. Our aim is to engage students with higher education by showing them the possibilities that university offers and guiding them as they plan their futures.
We offer a range of entry schemes, pathways, and scholarships to make higher education accessible and achievable.
At Monash, diversity is our strength. We welcome students from all backgrounds and provide the support they need to succeed. Our goal is to build an inclusive community where every student feels they belong.
Monash offers a range of events, services, programs and training to help all staff and students feel safe, connected and included.
Success at Monash starts with connection. In their first year, students are paired with a fellow Monash student through our peer mentoring program providing a chance to gain insider advice and feel part of the community from day one.
From second year onwards, students can step up as mentors themselves, building employability, leadership and communication skills that last a lifetime.
Our peer-led academic support program, Peer Assisted Study Sessions (PASS) helps students learn from each other, make friends, and boost confidence in a collaborative environment.
Beyond the classroom, Monash offers countless opportunities to grow through volunteering, leadership programs, industry training, research experiences and on-campus jobs. We want every student to graduate ready to make an impact in the world.
Our new Widening Participation Commitment will be ready in 2023 with our new strategic goals and our plans to keep supporting our students.
