How to get to JMC Melbourne by public transport

By train and tram

From Southern Cross Station or Flinders Street Station take tram 12 towards St Kilda and get off at stop 129 (Park St/Clarendon St). Turn left onto Park Street. JMC is a 1-minute walk (90 metres) from the stop.

From Anzac Station take tram 58 towards West Coburg. Travel one stop (approximately 1 minute) to stop 119 (Wells St/Park St). Walk up Park Street for approximately 8 minutes (660 metres) to JMC Academy.

Future students, parents & friends welcome

My first entry into the music industry was actually at JMC Academy when I moved into an internship position and from there my role grew and grew and I just networked around and made all these connections.

Sophie Brown

Label Manager, Concord

JMC has given me hands on experience and confidence to go out there and work in the field that I do and allowed my career to progress quicker than I ever thought it would.

Will Thackray

Sound Designer at Otis Studios

JMC taught us how to create pitch decks and get funding, to budget and distribute. Since JMC I’ve produced and directed 4 films and a few of them have gone onto win at international film festivals. In a small industry, having the loyalty from the people that you studied with (at JMC) and bringing them along on professional projects is so rewarding.

Lexee Gordoun

Award winning Film Director and Producer

Hard work and collaboration between other JMC departments enabled me to work across live sound, audio-to-picture sound and studio recording, opening up job prospects after graduating.
