VU no longer offers paid alumni membership and will not contact anyone directly to solicit payment, unless we have received a direct query from you personally.
If you believe you have been contacted by somebody who claims to represent VU but does not seem legitimate, please email alumni@vu.edu.au to let us know, or alternatively, you can call the Alumni Relations Office on +613 9919 1017.
