Report
Had an array of health of problems & being forced to walk in from Campbelltown to Newton on a busted knee (all of which I still have medical certificates for) actually meant nothing to them. I was put in horrible position of having to give up my media studies as they didn't see as a meaningful pathway to employment but I have since sent that letter out to every media organisation I did no wrong, just got stressed out. I was forced to lose $500 of my own money & do a copy & paste course which I ended up failing as they didn't even have the technology to allow me to do the so called Cert II in Business
