HOW DOES THE FEDERAL BUDGET AFFECT ME?
There are a large number of changes to higher education signalled in the federal 
Government’s Budget.  These changes will ONLY become official IF the Senate passes them.
For current students the Government has stated that:
Current HECS students and HECS students commencing in 2004 will study under the  current HECS contribution levels until the end of 2008, unless enrolment is  discontinued before 2008.
This provides another five years for you to complete your degree under the  current arrangements.  For a full report and explanation of the Governments proposals as set out in the  Budget go to DEST’s site at:
http://www.backingaustraliasfuture.gov.au/

Degrees of mental illness©
© DOMI and “Degrees of Mental Illness” are original intellectual property i.e. copyright
Degrees of Mental Illness (DOMI) is a peer network of people with a mental illness and a university degree. It acknowledges there are degrees of mental illness, and there are people with mental illness capable of getting degrees.

DOMI provides a social network of peers. Despite the significant number of people in the community (10 -15%) with a mental illness, many unnecessarily suffer their illness in silence and alone. Fear of stigma increases anxiety. 
DOMI reassures mental health consumers they are not alone.

DOMI has been formed to bring together a group of mental health consumers with experience and expertise of both their illness and degree discipline. DOMI meets socially on a regular basis as determined by the membership. These meetings provide an opportunity for further networking and the development of the DOMI community and associated activities.

DOMI aims to reduce the stigma and prejudice faced by all mental health consumers by increasing awareness and acceptance of mental health conditions among the tertiary educated, and thus the wider community.

The DOMI network comprises graduates, both employed and non-incomed, current and prospective university students and university staff from all disciplines and with various Degrees of Mental Illness.

DOMI is not a self-help counselling group and there is no religious affiliation.

RECIPROCAL PARKING - CURTIN UNIVERSITY
The reciprocal parking arrangements with Curtin University have been altered for 2003. All Murdoch University permit holders (irrelevant of permit zone or colour held) are eligible to park in Student Green and Student Red parking areas only at Curtin University.
Do not use Curtin University's Yellow Staff zone as this zone is not included in our reciprocal rights.

Section 4.12.1 of our Parking Information brochure will be revised in due course to read:-
Curtin University - Murdoch parking permit holders may park in Student Green and Red parking areas only. Do not use visitors parking areas if you are displaying your Murdoch parking permit.

Curtin University permit holders continue to have reciprocal rights in Murdoch University's Green Zones only.
