  • Child Care
    Independently operated child care, kindergarten and after-school-care services are available on or near all UQ campuses. Off-campus care services are also available. Look no further: both Gatton and St Lucia campuses have on-campus childcare and early learning centres, with more options available in surrounding areas. All centres are operated independently to UQ, so you should contact each centre directly for more information.If you’re arriving in Brisbane from overseas or interstate, we recommend planning ahead: there can be high demand for places in many childcare centres, including on-campus services. It’s common for childcare centres to have waiting lists, so it’s a good idea to organise child care early.If you can’t get a place with an on-campus provider, don’t worry: off-campus facilities are located close to all UQ campuses, so you still have plenty of options.

The initiative operates across all campuses and is designed to raise awareness of safety, and maximise your sense of security.This, combined with Brisbane being one of the safest and most family-friendly cities in Australia – with one of the lowest crime rates in the world – means you can focus on your studies and enjoy everything UQ has to offer.
