ALACC’s main Campus is located in Preston, a Northern suburb of Melbourne. Our second Training location is located at 2 James Street, Dandenong.
Both of our training locations are located close to a wide variety of restaurants including fine dining and fast food as well as shopping that ranges from basic groceries to clothes and accessories. Both suburbs are serviced by trains and are very well connected by buses, while Preston has an additional advantage of being serviced by tram.

Preston forms part of the dynamic City of Darebin which stretches from Melbourne’s inner northern suburbs of Northcote and Fairfield out to the traditional middle ring suburbs of Reservoir and Bundoora. With over 55,000 properties, including 55,253 residences and 4,727 commercial/industrial properties, Darebin is among the largest, most diverse communities anywhere in the State.

Bordered by the Darebin and Merri Creeks, the City of Darebin contains a wide range of open spaces, including small, local parks and  major regional parklands such as the All Nations Park in Northcote and Bundoora Park in Bundoora. Central Creek Grasslands, the Wildlife reserve at La Trobe University and Leamington Street Wetlands are all areas of natural beauty within the Darebin Community.
