Chapel Road, Bankstown Campus Located 20 kilometers west of Sydney’s central business district, Bankstown merged with its neighbour Canterbury in 2016, forming the new city of Canterbury Bankstown. It is a vibrant and culturally diverse city at the same time as providing a cheaper alternative than living in the centre of Sydney with excellent amenities and quality of life, large expanses of native bushland, quality sporting facilities and a great shopping district.
Canterbury Bankstown has a range of unique characteristics in terms of its location, economic geography, population, demographics and industry structure. Visit https://www.cbcity.nsw.gov.au/ for more information.
Wentworth Street, Surry Hills Sydney CampusSurry Hills is immediately south-east of the Sydney central business district in the local government area of the City of Sydney. It is an evolving area known for its stylish cultural and cafe scene. Terraced houses on Crown and Cleveland streets showcase hip coffee joints, fashion boutiques and global eateries. Cool pubs, wine bars and galleries dot the area around Surry Hills Library, a community hub with a contemporary, sustainable design. Held once a month, Surry Hills Markets are popular with locals and tourists for snacks and vintage goods.
Central Station is the closest station to Surry Hills and can be reached easily by foot or bus. Being directly near Central Station provides the ability to reach most other locations around Sydney City and suburbs without the need to change trains in the process.

If students wish to extend their stay in Australia for further study, they will need to lodge an application for a further visa.

These placements are conducted with early childhood education and care centres outside the BCC Institute campuses, but are all within the Sydney Metropolitan area.
BCC Institute will source a suitable work placement venue for all international students enrolled in a qualification which includes a work placement component. Students may wish to suggest an organisation they want to undertake placement at, however this will be subject to BCC Institute’s approval. Students cannot refuse a practical placement opportunity provided to them by BCC Institute unless there are compelling and special circumstances that would prevent them from working in such a placement (for example, conflict of interest, or religious/cultural protocols.)
