Try to get a blouse that covers your shoulders.
Does this answer your question?What kind of blouse doesn't cover one's shoulders?
I think you'll find that "blouse" largely means "a shirt for ladies". Taking a singlet, tank top, halter top, crop top, vest or whatever and calling it a "blouse" doesn't make it one.
I wore a sleeveless blouse to my interview, but w a blazer on top
I've never been to Monash, but I'd wager that the rooms will definitely be air conditioned - I'd still try to wear something professional if you can. In saying that, your outfit will almost certainly not be a component of the criteria sheet (read LMG!'s post just above) so it's not something to stress about; if you have an outfit that is cool but easily surpasses "casual" then you should be ok to wear that.I also have my monah interview on Friday, not entirely related I heard it's going to be some ridiculously hot temperature like 42 degrees or something!? Does this mean the interviewees would get away with wearing sandals or something like that or will it just be severely air conditioned inside? I'm kinda worried about wearing something cool only for the air con to be severely blasted and leaving candidates inside shivering like ice.

Remember, those interviewing you are most likely gonna be old fashioned, so they will prefer strictly businesswear over casual/semi casual/business casual
Let me repost what UWA wrote in the invite email to me:

INTERVIEW ATTIRE
We work to ensure that each component of the selection process is fair to all applicants. Do not wear any uniform, accessories or badges, which identify membership of a particular organisation. This is to avoid the perception that bias has entered the selection process.
You do not need to dress too formally. Be smart, comfortable, but not too casual. The best kind of clothing for an interview will not distinguish you from the crowd. Clothing which is untidy or too revealing (such as low cut tops or short skirts or shorts) is inappropriate in this situation.
Examples of appropriate clothing would include: smart work pants and collared shirts (tie not necessary) for men and dress pants or knee-length skirt and smart top for women. It is important that you feel comfortable throughout the interview so that you can concentrate on the questions asked. Therefore ensure that you wear comfortable dress shoes and if it is cool you should bring a jacket/coat/cardigan etc. Be prepared to cope with a variety of airconditioning systems.

Would a long-sleeved collared shirt, a tie and dress pants suffice for a guy? And dress shoes of course.I have spoken to certain interviewers who would fail candidates based on how they are dressed so it's not entirely impossible. It is wrong to do so but universities cannot eliminate this bias. However, I would agree blazers are not necessary however, I would err on the side of caution and wear a tie. I would also tend to dress more professionally than not as a school leaver. My thought process is they can't fail you for dressing professional but they sure can if they think it is too casual because they might perceive that as a lack of respect and maturity.
I have met professors and doctors who would not let interns/residents sit in on their clinic without wearing a tie and they are the same people who will sometimes be conducting the interview.

I absolutely agree. I have heard that wearing a tie for men is a 'must'. No open collars.Would a long-sleeved collared shirt, a tie and dress pants suffice for a guy? And dress shoes of course.
That would definitely be appropriate. Some interview locations will be really hot e.g. JCU in summer so a jacket would almost be unwise!Would a long-sleeved collared shirt, a tie and dress pants suffice for a guy? And dress shoes of course.
