Parental support
Swinburne students and staff have access to childcare centres located at our Croydon and Wantirna campuses, operating Monday to Friday. We also provide safe and secure parental facilities for you to bring your children should they have to come to campus.
Childcare facilities
The Wantirna and Croydon Swinburne campuses in Melbourne both have nearby childcare facilities that are offered to all students and staff. These are operated and managed by independent co-operatives. Further information can be obtained by contacting the centres directly.
