Mt Helen
Mt Helen Campus is where it's at.
You’re going to be spending a lot of time on campus. Lucky it’s a good one.
Planes, trains and automobiles
Okay, we lied about the planes. But seriously, there are so many ways to get to campus you’ll never have to excuse yourself for being late to class.
- By local bus: Ballarat bus route 21 (via Buninyong) or bus route 22 (via Sebastopol) stop at our campus.
- V/Line train and coach: If you’re coming from outside Ballarat, you can use V/Line’s trip planner to plan your trip to Ballarat Railway Station. From there, take local bus routes 21 or 22 to the Mt Helen campus.
- Cycling: We have undercover, secure bike parking under P Building.
- Car: It generally takes about 15 minutes from the Ballarat CBD but allow extra time and avoid Geelong Rd in school peak times.
Here's a quick tip for when you arrive: Car parking will be clearly marked on the big day, and you can also use our campus map.
Everything you need, plus cute animals
There are too many facilities to list here, but trust us – Mt Helen Campus is basically a mini town. Oh – and there are koalas. Koalas!
