Ms Dixon's body was found on a soccer field in Princes Park in Carlton after she made a late-night, solo walk home following a performance at Melbourne's Highlander Bar on June 12.
Her death prompted comment from state and territory leaders including Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull.
Victoria's Women's Affairs Minister Natalie Hutchins said Australia is enduring a "gendered violence crisis", with 30 women already murdered in the nation in 2018.
"(Eurydice) was denied her right to get home safely, she was denied her right to life," she told parliament on Tuesday.
Ms Dixon's death captured the hearts of Australians, with thousands attending vigils in her honour, including in Princes Park where her body was found.
Jaymes Todd, 19 of Broadmeadows, is charged with her rape and murder.
