We are an association of graduates, a graduate residential college and a graduate meeting place.
We were established over 100 years ago as a graduate membership association. Over 50 years ago we became a residential college specifically for university graduates.
Our association exists as both a Union and a House. The Graduate Union is an international association of graduates from just after graduation through to retirement. Graduate House is where post-graduate students and academics reside and meet others who pursue excellence in career development and research.
We began as a membership association over 100 hundred years ago, in 1911. Women and men of different ages, disciplines and nationalities met to keep alive their university experience and resolved to support new graduates in the transition from undergraduate studies to careers and lifelong learning. The Graduate Union is now a charity and a not-for-profit membership association of graduates from universities worldwide.
Since the late 1950s, we have been a home for graduates from around the world. These Resident Members are the best and the brightest in their respective fields. They come to Graduate House to study, tutor and teach, research, collaborate, develop professionally and network. Today Graduate House has three college wings of graduate accommodation. We entrust our residents to continue to protect and grow our House for the benefit of the generations of graduates who will come here in the future.
Over 20,000 people meet in our facilities each year to advance research, careers, social good and lifelong learning. We are proud to offer affordable and friendly meeting services for hundreds of charities, not-for-profits, educational institutes and government. We bring together graduates of all universities through membership, so that educational, professional, cultural and social networks are fostered and maintained.
The Graduate Union is renowned as the pre-eminent Australian membership association of graduates of universities from around the world, living, meeting and learning within a vibrant and active collegium which advances education and its application for the good of society. The Graduate Union brings together graduates from graduation and through post-graduate study, careers and retirement – in an active international membership network, residential college and meeting place for the socially responsible advancement and application of education.

The best ever student (postgraduate) accommodation that I've ever lived in. It has everything that you need: 7 breakfasts & 5 dinners weekly; friends from the universities all over the world, & visiting scholars & professors from time to time; meet & greet dinner event monthly; room cleaning weekly (very clean); regular seminars with diverse areas; first time in Australia without knowing anyone? No worries, within one week you will know everyone if you attend meals every day and mingle with people, they all speak English (with various lovely accent), and you will feel more than welcome and a sense of belonging, I say this from my own experience (more than 3 years)! I would love to stay longer, but I have finished my study and not a student any more, I am going away from Australia to another country for good in two weeks, but I will definitely come back & visit GH in the future, on top of that, I want to say thank you all -the lovely and friendly working staff from the CEO Dr. Kerry Bennett to Mr. Daniel Clark & other office staff, the kitchen & the maintenance staff, the duty residents Mattias & Tim as well as all my friends from GH! Couldn't imagine what it would be like without you guys in my life :-)
