The commute
Public Transportation
Melbourne boasts an extensive public transport network, featuring buses, metro and regional trains, ferries, and the city's iconic trams. Conveniently, the CMI campus is just 400 meters from Tooronga Station, 850 meters from the Burke Road tram, or 160 meters from bus route 624.
The first place to look for information involving all public transport in Victoria is the Public Transport Victoria (PTV) website. On this site you can plan your journey, view information on Myki (Victoria’s transport pass), check routes and service timetables.
Here are some resources to help you navigate the various transportation options:
Driving or Cycling
CMI is just 500 meters from Toorak Road Exit on the M1/Monash Freeway and is a 20-40 minute drive (or 40 -50 minute bicycle ride) from the city.

-
Security bond: Paid at the start of the lease and returned at the end, depending on the property's condition.

-
Utilities: Budget for electricity, water, gas, and internet expenses.
