CIT Woden

CIT is looking forward to welcoming students to our new flagship Woden campus in 2025.

The ACT Government is investing in a purpose-built CIT campus for Woden. The new campus will stimulate the local economy and support the revitalisation of Woden, providing skills and training opportunities to meet the growing demands of business, industry and the ACT community.

CIT's new Woden campus will be a contemporary, smart and state-of-the-art facility that will deliver education and training to 6,500 students each year at the site of the old bus interchange on Callam Street.
