The main entrance at Monash Berwick Campus
It is situated in the City of Casey, one of Australia's fastest growing areas and approximately 2000 students attend. The institution opened in 1996. It is small in comparison to other campuses, covering an area of only 55 hectares; however, there are plans for the campus to be extended to fill the abundance of land surrounding the current buildings. A student accommodation building was completed in 2006 to stabilise the demand generated by both local and the vast number of international students.
The campus celebrated its 10th anniversary on 29 April 2006.[1]
