The Faculty primarily operates from Monash University’s Clayton, Caulfield and Peninsula campuses, all based in metropolitan Melbourne. Monash Clayton is home to the majority of the Faculty’s schools, research centres and technology platforms.
The Peninsula campus is located closely to Frankston Hospital. Courses taught at this campus include nursing and midwifery, emergency health and paramedic practice, physiotherapy and occupational therapy. In 2016, the University committed $20 million to develop the campus to become “Australia’s leading centre for allied health and primary care education and research”.
