Study Melbourne is proud to announce that the Study Melbourne Hub in Hardware Lane has officially re-opened!
Located in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD, the Study Melbourne Hub is a dedicated space for international students, providing a range of free programs and support services that ensure international students can thrive and succeed in Australia’s best student city.
The refurbished Hub at 17 Hardware Lane features an expanded study area, a wellbeing space, and upgraded consultation rooms where students can speak confidentially with case workers.
The Hub also boasts a new look that reflects Victoria’s vibrant international student community, captured by an original mural artwork created by Gunditjmara, Wemba Wemba and Yorta Yorta artist Tommy Day III, titled Yarkeen (Dreaming).
Thank you to our esteemed guests who joined us to celebrate the Hub’s re-opening, where we were welcomed to country by Kathleen Terrick and the Djirri Djirri dancers, and heard from our key speakers: the Treasurer of Victoria Tim Pallas MP; Executive Director of Trade, Global Engagement and International Education Fiona Letos; and the 2023 Victorian International Education Student of the Year Sarbjeet Singh.
Whether you are a student or an international education colleague, we invite you to come and visit us at the Hub from Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. We look forward to seeing you there!
