Testimonial
The best part about living on residence is the friendly and welcoming community, where we all support one another. The facilities are fantastic and it is great to have the support of the staff and residential advisors. For me, living on Camillus means I do not have to travel daily, as the central location is perfect for being a part of the Ballarat and ACU community. Living on Camillus is a great experience.” Bianca Gerrard, ACU Ballarat
