Mt Helen

Welcome to the Mt Helen Campus! With so many different spaces for you to learn in, including state-of-the-art facilities and a variety of student-centred study spaces, Mt Helen is a great place to continue your educational journey. You’ll also have plenty of break options, such as meeting friends for a pot and parma, sweating it out in an exercise class or bumping into a kangaroo on a hike through the surrounding bushland. The Mt Helen Campus is only a 13-minute drive from central Ballarat and has lots of free parking options, a lockable bike shed and many direct bus routes.

Find your schedule

We make our Orientation schedules as personalised as possible. Filter by your institute, student type (domestic or international) or discipline area to find the schedule designed for you.

You should try to attend as many events as possible on your schedule, starting with your program sessions. If you're an international student, you must also attend a compulsory International Orientation day.
