UNSW Religious Centre 

The Religious Centre is located on the Kensington campus on the third floor of the Squarehouse. 

The Religious Centre is for UNSW students and staff and offers specific services and facilities across all faiths including Anglican, Buddhist, Catholic, Coptic Orthodox, Islamic, Jewish, Greek Orthodox, Pentecostal, Presbyterian and Uniting Church. Additional support for Muslim students is available

Interfaith Spaces on Campus 

The Division of Equity Diversity & Inclusion is leading discussions for designated Interfaith spaces across the University. This will ensure UNSW students and staff of all faiths will reliably find dedicated spaces to pray and practice their faith. Prayer, meditation, reflection and ablution facilities are located around UNSW. These are safe spaces available for UNSW staff and students to meet, pray, reflect, meditate or simply take some time for yourself.
