The train station is located at the northern end of the airport terminal and is accessible from the Arrivals level.

Directions on getting to the venue
UNSW is well connected to Sydney’s public transport system. The John Niland Scientia building is within a 5-minute walk to two light rail stops: UNSW Anzac Parade and UNSW High Street. These stations can be accessed from key Sydney locations, including Circular Quay or Central Station (Chalmer’s Street) using light rail lines L2 and L3. Both light rail stops have wheel chair access, however, the path from UNSW Anzac Parade to the John Niland Scientia building is mostly flat and therefore recommended from an accessibility perspective.
The public transport system in Sydney operates via the Opal card system. These cards can be purchased at a local Newsagency and topped up with funds at most transportation stations. You can alternatively use a number of standard credit cards to interact with this system directly (e.g., AMEX, VIA, MASTERCARD). In either case, please be sure to tap on when boarding and tap off when disembarking to ensure you receive the correct fare.
By taxi and rideshares: Prices for taxis and rideshares to UNSW vary based on travel distance. For travels lasting 20 minutes or more, such as from the city center or the airport to UNSW, expect to pay between 25 and 40 AUD. For shorter trips of 15 minutes or less, the prices range from 9 to 15 AUD, offering more affordable options for quick journeys to UNSW.
