About Location

Located in North Melbourne, just across from the University of Melbourne, DVMC couldn’t be more convenient. It’s less than a 5-minute walk to campus and a 10-minute tram ride to RMIT University. You can practically roll out of bed and make it to class on time!

Being right in the heart of the city, you are just steps away from the trendy laneways, cafes, restaurants, shops and major malls line the streets. Craving something familiar? Gai Wong, right outside our gates, is known for their amazing Hainanese chicken rice, a favourite among the Asian students.

Getting Around Melbourne – Trams, Trains, and Buses Made Simple!

Travelling by tram might be new to you, but did you know it’s the go-to transport for many locals in Melbourne? The city’s tram network is exceptional, offering extensive coverage across a range of vibrant suburbs. Unlike other cities, Melbourne’s trams seamlessly integrate with buses and trains, making travel straightforward and stress-free. Keep an eye out for the “Free Tram Zone” in the city centre—where you can hop on and off at no cost, with no need to tap your card. How great is that?

If you’re exploring the city or the precincts, trams are the way to go. For longer trips to the outer suburbs, trains are an excellent option, while buses can take you even further, bringing you closer to those specific destinations in the surrounds.

Getting around Melbourne is easy with a myki card. You can pick one up at myki.com.au, train stations, or convenience stores displaying the myki sign. And here’s some good news—international students studying full-time at select universities can enjoy discounted fares with an International Student Travel Pass. It’s all set up to make your Melbourne experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible!
