Organiser Michelle Roberts called on participants to keep a lookout for graduate details to bridge the gap between the 4000 graduates with known addresses and more than 50,000 without reliable contact points.

"We have established the Office of Development and Graduate Relations to connect our graduates to resources, opportunities and each other after they graduate," Michelle said.

"The Office is looking to build strong connections with all of our graduates - developing  lifelong relationships."
