Graduate House is the perfect place to stay. It is in the heart of Melbourne University’s southern precinct and just north of RMIT University. It is also just five minutes away by tram or bike from the campuses of other universities in Melbourne’s CBD.

We provide high quality college-like accommodation for undergraduate and postgraduate students enrolled at any university in Melbourne, as well as for academics, researchers and clinicians visiting universities, research institutes and medical precincts in Melbourne.

We offer variable stay durations. You may thus stay for just one night or for weeks, months, semesters or years at a time.

To enquire about accommodation at Graduate House please complete the following form. You are most welcome also to contact us by phone + 61 3 9347 3428 or by email at admingh@graduatehouse.com.au.

For longer term bookings (e.g, while completing your degree) we will send you a Resident Membership Application Form (via a secure link). Your reservation is confirmed upon payment of the required bonds and advance rent.
