The Gotha St campus is home to Australasian College of Natural Therapies, Australian National College of Beauty Think Education and Torrens University Australia.

After hours emergency, call 000 or your Campus Director on 0432 663 797.
In every building you will find emergency evacuation posters that clearly explain where to go and what to do in an emergency evacuation. To be prepared, we recommend you familiarise yourself with emergency exits and procedures in each building you visit.
