We all know Melbourne is a very famous city but what do you think it is famous for? Tbh I think it's got to be the trams.
I’m trying to get a realistic idea of what everyone was doing outside of school during Year 12. Sometimes it feels like people are studying every spare hour they have, and other times I hear from people who did far less than I expected. Looking back, how many hours a week were you actually putting in outside of classes, and did you feel it was enough?
I’ve always been a bit unsure about how this actually works in practice. If someone calls for help and paramedics attend, do patients automatically have a right to be transported to hospital if they feel something is seriously wrong, or can paramedics decide against it even when the patient still wants to go?
Express post Braeside to Yeppoon. Transit from Melbourne Airport to Brisbane Airport. Now it is in transit back to Melbourne Airport??
Looking at accommodation options, and Scape Toowong looks ideal because it’s literally right next to the train station, shopping centre, and super close to campus, but a few old threads on here mention hidden fees, issues with breaking leases early, and super strict guest policies. For anyone currently living there or who recently moved out, is the student community vibe actually decent, or is it an overpriced, heavily regulated high school boarding house?
Thinking about flexibility early on and whether it’s common for people to shift courses or pathways.
I’m looking over the postgraduate entry requirements for a course I want to do later, and everything keeps referencing a UQ GPA of 5.5 or higher. Coming from a system that uses standard percentages or a 4.0 scale, the 1-7 matrix is completely confusing me. How hard is it to actually maintain a 5 or a 6 here? Are the courses marked brutally hard, or is getting a 6 (a Distinction) relatively achievable if you actually put the work in?
I’ve been trying to keep up with mutual obligation requirements while already feeling pretty stretched, and it’s starting to feel a bit hard to juggle everything at once. How are people actually managing it when study, work, and everything else already fills most of the week, and there’s not much breathing room left?
I recently lodged a WorkCover claim for a diagnosed psychological injury brought on by an absolutely unmanageable workload surge after half our team resigned. My claim was just rejected by the agent. The rejection letter explicitly uses the wording from the modernised Act, claiming that my stress was caused by "events that are considered usual or typical and reasonably expected to occur in the course of duties." How on earth are workers supposed to prove that toxic management and extreme understaffing aren't "normal" workplace expectations? If you successfully overturned a rejection like this at the Workplace Injury Commission, what evidence did you need?
