Buranga Centre resources
The Buranga Centre is located on the Ground Floor, Building C at the Sippy Downs campus. There is a student common room and computer room available to Aboriginal, Australian South Sea Islander and Torres Strait Islander students. Both areas are 24hrs seven-days-a-week swipe-card access to provide students with a place to study, to complete assignments, or to relax with other students. Please check your student ID to see if you have access or see the team at the Buranga Centre.
Drop-In
Our office is open from Monday to Friday, 8am–4pm, however, if students wish to arrange one-to-one appointments with any member of the team to discuss cadetships, student support, tutorial assistance or other student related matters, then it is recommended that an appointment be made with Indigenous Services.

Student laptops
Buranga Centre has laptop computers available for loan on an "as needs" basis. Students can use the laptops to complete assignments at home, rather than staying late on campus. The use of the laptops is for University work only and bookings are recommended. Please contact the Student Support Officer.
Student library
A library of text books and other reading materials is available through Indigenous Services. Indigenous students may borrow resources to complete assignments and to assist with study.
The library provides an additional source of information but it is recommended that students purchase their own textbooks due to the limited size of the library and range of textbooks available.
The Koori Mail is available to students on a fortnightly basis. These are usually located in the student common room.
