College Location in Melbourne

• From humble beginnings the College soon outgrew the few offices it occupied in the RACMA building and moved to a beautiful Victorian Terrace in Grattan St. As the speciality continued to grow, so did the College staff and the decision was made to move to a purpose built building in West Melbourne, where it still occupies today.

• The faculty boosts training, conference and meeting rooms each with a varying amount of AV capability.

• As the specialty continues to grow, so does the need for staff. The College has recently had further extensions.

• Each year, most committees hold a face to face meeting in Melbourne, with travel and accommodation paid for.
