National Centre for Equine Education

Cusack House

Cusack House was built in 1997 as a modern apartment building for GOTAFE students studying full time courses and who have a substantial distance to travel from their home or employment. Centrally located in Cusack Street it is walking distance to the CBD, supermarkets, fast food outlets and is one minute walking distance to the train station.

There are 15 on campus places available to GOTAFE students at Cusack House. As there is a high demand for these places, priority is given to students who are studying full time Animal Sciences courses, e.g. Diploma of Equine Stud Management and for those who would like independent living.
