How to Find Us
Our address is:
Melbourne Buddhist Centre,
23 David Street, Brunswick, VIC 3056
You'll find us a few doors down from the ALDI carpark, and directly behind the Brunswick Ballroom & La Choukette café, next to the Savers drop-off point. Look for the brick building with bright red doors.
Public Transport and Parking
The nearest public transport is stop 21 on the 19 tram; Brunswick station on the Upfield line; and the 506, 508, 509, and 951 buses. Nearby parking is limited, but street parking is generally available in the surrounding area with a 2-hour limit during business hours.
Accessibility
Our centre has two-storeys, with only the lower level being wheelchair-accessible. There is one step and a lip at the front door, with a wheelchair ramp available on request. There are 4 flights of 4-5 stairs each with a single handrail leading to the upper level. Many of our larger community activities will use the upstairs space, but our drop-in classes generally always have a class in the downstairs shrine room, which can accommodate wheelchairs.
Chaplaincy and Funerals
From time to time we get requests to provide chaplaincy services or lead funeral services. We usually only provide these services for people who are regular members of our community. You can contact the Buddhist Council of Victoria who are more able to provide these services, or recommend a local Buddhist centre affiliated with the desired tradition.
