Logo of The Buranga Centre at USC with the words "a place to listen and learn".

The Buranga Centre is located 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 open 24-hrs; seven-days-a-week to provide students with a place to study; to complete assignments or to relax with other students.  Students do require security swipe card access to use both rooms.

Drop-in times for students at the Buranga Centre are 10am - 12noon, Monday to Wednesday only.  Students and community members are welcome to visit the Buranga Centre during office hours; however, if you wish to visit outside of drop-in times; 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.

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.
