Concession Card Campaign
DUSA believes that all students should have equal rights and opportunities, regardless of where they're from, or what they study. The fact that Postgraduate, off-campus, part time and international students don't have access to basic services like concession cards is not ok with us. Help us do something about it - register your anger here!

Centrelink refuses to help full-time students get a job (whether they are undergrad or postgrad), so why are post-grad students somehow expected to be richer? |

I dont get why it has to be different for students.. Why can we all just fall under the same category.. We are students, where we study or what shouldn't determine what we can get . |

Concession cards should be available for ALL students regardless of their campus location or whether they study part-time or full-time. |

what's with the differences, honestly. we, all as students should just as well have our rights to concession. plus being international students, our school fees are basically more expensive. can't we even have this right to have a fare share in getting a concession for public transport?! |

i spend about 130 odd bucks on transport a month! international students pay a hell lot more school fees, and we still have to pay so much more for transport. what's the reason behind this besides the fact that they can earn more money? we are still students, we are not working, and we have to pay so much more!! i've gotten fined before and it's because i ran out of 2hour X 10 and i crossed into another zone. the fine was 162 bucks! and i got fined another time for having the tip of my foot brush the opposite seat! at least gimme the Damn concession card!!!!! besides, it's not like the trains/buses/trams run on time. i don't really get wat i'm paying for... |

I strongly agree. The money spent on transport is too much for students, especially for international students. |

International students pay even more tuition fee - so why do we have to pay even more for public transport?? It's not like we have more money than local students! US should be given the concession! |

Why should there be a discrepancy in which students get a concession card? If you are a student, you should be allowed one. Simple as that. |

Who gets to decide that one group of studnets gets support and another doesn't. The current concession card system is unfair and unequitable. |

Study load shouldnt matter, I know people who study part time because they cant afford to study full time, they shouldnt be further disadvantaged for that. |

In addition to receiving NO SUPPORT from Centrelink, Postgraduate students can't even get a transport concession card. How is this encouraging people to better themselves and become qualified professionals and contribute to society? No wonder so many people just stay on the dole. |

Concession are supposed to be for all student, regardless if they are postgrad or international student. We are not here making money and definitely not wealthy. |

Completely agree!!! Denying concession cards to International students is completely unfair... Our fees are more and to top it all, transport expense without concession card is a rip off.... |
