The Federal Government has announced the locations of the next five new Suburban University Study Hubs (SUSHs), bringing universities closer to where people live in the outer suburbs.

The SUSHs aim to help more people from the outer suburbs of major cities to experience going to university.

The five new or expanded SUSHs will be located in:

Fairfield, NSW
Mt Druitt and Emerton, NSW
Liverpool, NSW
Inala, QLD
Beenleigh, QLD

This adds to the 10 SUSHs the Government announced in November 2024, and will bring the total number of SUSHs to 15.

The first 10 SUSHs will be located in:

Broadmeadows and Epping, Victoria
Melton, Victoria
Macquarie Fields, NSW
Kurri Kurri, NSW
Elizabeth, South Australia
Strathpine, Queensland
Sorell, Tasmania
Armadale, Western Australia
Ellenbrook, Western Australia
Mandurah, Western Australia

All 15 SUSHs are expected to be open by late 2025. In addition to the SUSHs, there are now 56 Regional University Study Hubs located across the country.

These Study Hubs provide student support and campus-style facilities for students who are doing a university degree closer to home.

Early childhood educators have one of the most important jobs in Australia. We trust them to keep our kids safe, to educate them in their most formative years, and to care for them when we can’t do it ourselves. And far too often, educators are doing it all on empty.
