Getting to campus

Train services and Metro Tunnel changes (from 1 February 2026): The Melbourne Metro Tunnel has reshaped the metropolitan rail network. The Cranbourne, Pakenham and Sunbury lines now operate exclusively through the Metro Tunnel, offering more frequent services and new stations. To access Clayton, Caulfield, and Peninsula campuses by train, travellers should check the latest train timetables and consider appropriate interchange points (e.g. Caulfield, Town Hall, Footscray) where required.

Each Monash campus can be accessed by a range of trains, trams and buses. Explore your options for getting to campus by public transport below.
