All you need to do is bring your University of Sydney Student ID (SID) OR any Photo ID such as drivers licence or a passport will be fine should you not have your SID already.

• You will be issued an accommodation card which you will use to gain access to the building and your room.;
• You then must complete a room inventory to ensure everything is present and in order in your room (You will have 2 days to complete this); If you fail to complete this via the student portal within 48 hours of arrival, we will assume you are satisfied with your room;

Reception is open Mon to Fri 9am-6pm and Sat-Sun 10am-3pm. Outside of office hours push the intercom button on the front door or call the duty manager on 0466 559 737 as we have staff on site working 24/7.

Save money by bringing supplies from home (as long as you’re allowed!) and for everything else you need, you can check out Broadway Shopping Centre – it’s just a 5-minute bus ride away.

All standard single bedrooms are furnished with a single bed, mattress, mattress protector, desk and desk chair, however you will need to bring other items with you like:

For your convenience, (particularly for those who are getting straight off a plane), the facility has kitchen and linen packs available for purchase before you arrive. To order these log into your Portal (where you applied for your room), add it to your cart and pay for it before you arrive. You can do all of this online and collect on arrival – It’s so it’s easy.

Queen Mary Building is located on the Camperdown side of the main campus. Originally a home for the nurses of Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, it was recently converted by the University into a modern and innovative residence for 800 students over 10 floors.

The star feature of the building is the rooftop and sky lounges – with stunning views of Sydney’s Central Business District this is a perfect spot for barbecues, quiet reading or early morning yoga.
