The Mackay Ooralea Campus serves as a base for hundreds of students and staff within the Mackay community.

It boasts a wide range of facilities, including lecture theatres and performance theatres, trade training workshops, computer and nursing laboratories, video-conference rooms, recording studios, student accommodation, a bookshop, a refectory, a library, and much more. 

The second campus, conveniently located on Sydney Street in the heart of the Mackay CBD, was the former CQ TAFE campus prior to the merge in 2014 and offers a wide range of study options from certificates and diplomas to undergraduate courses.  

Facilities available on the campus include extended hours computer laboratories, a training restaurant, a hair dressing salon, a beauty salon, gym, library and student common areas. 

The success of our Mackay campus relies on our strong and continuing ties to our local community. The campus is keen to ensure that our students benefit from career and volunteering opportunities, social activities and exposure to a range of diverse experiences.

The local campuses cover a wide variety of vocational and professional areas and staff and students are encouraged to engage with their local industries to enhance our course and the student experience. Contact the local leadership to discuss engagement opportunities.
