The campus is located in Rozelle, Sydney, Australia and housed within Callan Park in the Kirkbride complex, a cluster of sandstone buildings designed by James Barnet, the government architect, in the late 19th century. It is slated to move to the main Camperdown Campus of the University of Sydney in 2020.
