Purpose-Built Accommodation for University Life
Marist House Fitzroy offers university students a safe, stable, and well-resourced place to live while completing their tertiary studies in Melbourne.
Everything about our facilities – from our private bedrooms to our shared spaces to daily meals – is intended to offer a formative environment where students can live well, study effectively, and feel at home.
Private rooms for study & rest
Each resident is provided with their own private bedroom, offering space for rest, study, and personal routine within a shared household.

Essential bedroom furnishings
Shared bathroom facilities between two residents
These private spaces allow students to retreat, recharge, and maintain healthy routines alongside the shared life of the house.
Shared facilities for daily living
Marist House Fitzroy offers a range of shared spaces and facilities to support both academic life and everyday living, reducing the practical pressures often associated with student accommodation.

These spaces are designed to balance focus and rest, encouraging both productivity and connection.
Situated across three neighbouring terrace houses in Fitzroy – in easy reach of Melbourne’s major universities and with access to public transport – Marist House allows students to focus on their studies while enjoying the benefits of living in one of Melbourne’s most vibrant inner-city neighbourhoods.
Right opposite Melbourne’s IMAX and iconic Royal Exhibition Building, Marist House Fitzroy is ideally located for those studying at Australian Catholic University, Melbourne University, RMIT and Monash’s Parkville campus – within walking distance from the CBD.
Meals & shared responsibilities
Shared meals are a central part of life at Marist House Fitzroy. Dinner is prepared and shared together on evenings when residents are at home, following a rotating cooking roster. Breakfast and lunch supplies are also provided, allowing flexibility around individual schedules.
This shared approach to meals supports both practical needs and the relational life of the house, creating regular opportunities for rich and meaningful interactions with other residents.
Service & outreach
As part of the Marist tradition, students at Marist House Fitzroy are invited to make a practical difference in the lives of others. Residents typically contribute several hours each week to Marist or local Church-sponsored service projects, offering opportunities to engage with the wider community in meaningful ways.
This outward-looking commitment complements the rhythms of study, prayer, and shared life within the house. Participation in service forms part of the broader formation experience and is approached in a practical and supported way.
