Creating Community on Campus

Building friendships and being part of a community is an important part of life at uni. In fact, when it comes to the crunch, our friends and relationships are usually what matters most. Chaplaincy is one way of meeting people and making friends. Chaplains are available to all members of the Melbourne University community, including students and academic and administrative staff.

The Chaplains work with a number of student groups on campus - mostly the religious-based ones, but a number of others as well. There are also some more informal groups which meet in the chaplaincy, and many students like to use the chaplaincy kitchen and community room as an informal meeting place. The Chaplains can help you to think through what sort of group might be suitable for you, and help you to make contact with people in that group. The University Chaplaincy is open during the week, and you are welcome to drop by to eat your lunch, study for a while, meet some people, or even take a brief nap!

Chaplains rooms are found in two locations:

• Level 1, 138 Cardigan St, Carlton
• Mezzanine 3, Union House, The University of Melbourne (Parkville)
