The campus is conveniently located on the fringe of Melbourne's Central Business District (CBD) (see Map). It is within a short walk to the popular retail strips of Brunswick Street and Smith Street with their variety of cafés, shops and art galleries. Some of Melbourne's finest parks, gardens and recreational facilities are also within easy walking distance from the campus.
