Monash University (Clayton) is located in the expansive South Eastern suburbs of Melbourne.
Car Parking
As the Spring Program will be held during the Spring Break, all blue permit spaces will be available for free public parking. Blue Permit areas are indicated on the campus map. When parking, you should take note of the signage around parking areas, as well as the outline of individual parking spaces within the area, to ensure you are within a blue permit space. Multi-level parking N1 should have plenty of spaces available and is the closest large blue permit area to the ACSPRI courses.
Driving Routes
The main entrance to campus is from the South off Wellington Road, near Dandenong Rd (Princes Hwy). If you are taking the Monash Freeway from the City, signage will instruct you off at Blackburn Rd for Monash University. However the earlier exit at Forster Road is a better option as it will reduce the number of right hand turns and it will take you (via Gardiner Rd) to the campus' North West gate at Bayview Avenue, close to the N1 multilevel parking.
Generally speaking, if approaching Clayton from the North, the Northern gates are preferable to the main gate to the South.
Public Transport from the City (or Northern/Western Suburbs)
From the city (or Richmond, South Yarra, etc.), the most direct public transport is the Dandenong, Pakenham or Cranburne trains to Huntingdale Station and then a short bus trip to the campus bus interchange. This journey should take 35-45 min from the CBD, plus walking time.
Other Public Transport
Monash is well serviced by buses thoughout the Southern and Eastern Suburbs with services linking the campus with just about all train lines on that side of the city.
From the Airport (taxi)
Monash Clayton is on the other side of the CBD from Melbourne Airport. This is roughly 45 minutes by taxi or car using Citylink (tollway) and the Monash Freeway however you will need to allow much more time during peak hour. If taking a taxi to the campus, the best spot to ask to be dropped off is on Union Loop Road, which is opposite the tennis courts.
