Guests and families

Many guests are visiting Murdoch University for the first time. Here's what you need to know to support your graduate on the day.

Guest tickets

Your graduate orders guest tickets for you, so you don't need to buy anything yourself. Here's what to know before the day.

Getting a ticket
Each graduate receives two guest tickets with their ceremony fee. Talk to your graduate about who's coming.
Extra tickets
At Perth ceremonies, your graduate can buy up to two more, subject to availability. Extra tickets aren't available in Dubai.
Children
Children over two need a ticket.
Buying safely
Tickets are only sold through your graduate's official ordering portal. Be wary of anyone else offering tickets for sale.
Refunds
Guest tickets are non-refundable.
No ticket?
At Perth ceremonies, you can still come along. Watch the livestream in the air-conditioned Kim E. Beazley Lecture Theatre, no ticket needed, and join your graduate for photos afterwards.

This ceremony will be filmed and livestreamed

Graduands and guests attending a Murdoch University graduation ceremony should be aware the ceremony will be livestreamed. The graduate's registration to the ceremony is consent for filming. Images and/or video taken may be used for promotional and marketing purposes.

Can't attend in person? Watch the livestream

Every ceremony is livestreamed, so family and friends anywhere can be part of the moment.

Watch from anywhere

Your graduate will receive a livestream link by email closer to the ceremony. Share it with anyone who can't be there. There's no registration, and the replay stays up for a while afterwards, so it's fine if you miss the start time. If your graduate hasn't forwarded the link, you can watch on our livestream page.

Watch on campus (Perth)

On the day, you can watch from the air-conditioned Kim E. Beazley Lecture Theatre. You don't need a ticket, so it's a good option for extra guests or anyone who'd prefer to stay out of the heat.

Keep a copy (Perth)

The livestream replay is only available for a limited time. For a recording to keep, you can order a professionally filmed video of the full ceremony through GFP.
