We seek to advocate for students in all activities and within the RMIT Law Students' Society. 
We believe that equity is essential to our success and our commitment to providing a supportive environment where everyone's backgrounds are recognized and celebrated. To this end, we have implemented a broad range of portfolios to promote diversity and inclusion, including the Equity Portfolio, Women's Portfolio, First Nations Portfolio, Queer Portfolio, and the First Year Portfolios.

THE PORTFOLIOS
