How to get to JMC Sydney by public transport

By train or metro:

JMC Academy is approximately a 10–15 minute walk from Central Station. From Railway Square, follow The Goods Line towards the Powerhouse Museum. Turn left onto Macarthur Street, then continue to Harris Street. JMC is at 561 Harris Street, across the road.

By bus:

There are numerous bus services stopping at Railway Square, next to Central Station. From there, it’s approximately a 10-minute walk to JMC along Harris Street.

By light rail:

The closest light rail stop is Exhibition Centre on the L1 Dulwich Hill Line, approximately a 3–5 minute walk from campus. You can also get off at Haymarket or Paddy’s Markets on the L2 Randwick and L3 Kingsford lines, both around a 5–10 minute walk from JMC.

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.
