Bedford Park is the university’s main campus, at Sturt Road in Bedford Park, South Australia 5042. The campus sits about 12 km south of central Adelaide. The university describes its elevated grounds as spacious, with views toward the coast and over the city.
Use the map before setting out to orient yourself and locate your destination. You can also find accessible path maps for North Ridge, South Ridge and Sturt, alongside information about accessible parking and lifts. For local plans beyond the campus, the guide to getting around Glenelg covers the area where the journey begins.
How do you get from Glenelg to Flinders University?
Adelaide Metro trains and buses connect Bedford Park with other parts of Adelaide. Flinders University says buses serve both the campus and Flinders Medical Centre, with connections from southern suburbs, nearby railway stations and Marion Shopping Centre.
The Flinders train line connects the Bedford Park, Tonsley and City campuses. From the CBD, the train ride to Flinders Station takes 22 minutes. Once at Bedford Park, three free university bus services run continuous loops on weekdays from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm, excluding public holidays.
For local connections, the red Campus Connector links the main Bedford Park campus, Flinders Station Plaza, Sturt campus and the Flinders train station/HMRB/Station Plaza. It runs approximately every 15 minutes.
The yellow Tonsley Link connects Tonsley campus, Bedford Park campus, Ring Road car parks 3 and 4, and Sturt campus car park 13, also approximately every 15 minutes. If your trip also involves flying, the Adelaide Airport transfer guide covers that separate journey.
Finding visitor parking and accessible routes
At Bedford Park, parking is paid on weekdays from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm and free on weekends and nationally recognised public holidays. Drivers must use a general marked white bay; reserved, accessible, loading, business blue and signed “at all times” areas are monitored around the clock and are not for general parking.
Flinders University identifies three Bedford Park CellOPark zones: general visitor parking, code 1500101; general parking for staff and students, code 1500100; and two-hour maximum parking in car parks 6 and 13, code 1500500.
Zones determine who can park, any time limit and, in some cases, the parking charge. Use the campus map to identify your car park and select its matching zone.
If you need an accessible route, check the campus’s path maps for North Ridge, South Ridge and Sturt, plus its information on accessible parking and lifts. An access cab is available to transport students and staff within the Bedford Park grounds. Parking rules and services can change, so check the official site before you go.
Campus transport and public areas
The university’s free campus buses provide links between Bedford Park locations and nearby campuses on weekdays. The Campus Connector and Tonsley Link each run approximately every 15 minutes during their operating hours, making them useful for connecting the main campus with Flinders Station Plaza, Sturt and designated car parks.
For a visit focused on a particular building or campus facility, search its name in the interactive map before choosing a route. The map’s layer controls and legend can help you make sense of the campus layout, while the print function offers another way to refer to the map on site.
