Getting here 

If you are visiting OTARC, there are various ways to travel to La Trobe University’s campus in Bundoora. Download the campus map [PDF 2.03 MB]. If you are coming to participate in a research study or for an assessment, please go to the GEORGE SINGER Building (GS). The Child Development Unit and the Early Diagnostic Clinic are on Level 2.

If you are visiting for other reasons, please go to the BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES 2 Building (BIOL 2) which is right next to the George Singer Building. Come to Level 2 and to Room 252 (admin. office). If you enter from George Singer Building you will be in Level 2 already. Both buildings are to the North of the campus (see map).

If you have trouble finding us call 9479 2497 and we will come and find you.

We look forward to your visit.
