The Swinburne Multi Faith Facility was opened in May 2011 with Archbishop Philip Freier of the Melbourne Anglican Diocese (now Primate of the Anglican Church in Australia) as the speaker. We maintain a tradition of an anniversary celebration in which we seek to stimulate thinking around the broad theme of encouraging respectful dialogue between people of different faiths and belief frameworks. We have eight registered student faith groups – Islamic, Jewish and Christian and ongoing links with Baha’i, Buddhist, Hindu and Sikh communities and students. All are welcome.
