Danala | Education and Community Precinct

The list of courses taught at the Education and Community Precinct is below.

If you are a current domestic student there is nothing you need to do, you will be automatically transferred to the new campus.  

If you are a current international student, we offer you the opportunity to complete your studies at this new campus. If you hold a Student Visa, your Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) will be updated to the new campus.  Please note, this does not change your CoE code, and you are not required to apply for a new Student Visa due to a campus change.  If you have any concerns completing the remainder of your studies at the new campus we will be happy to discuss options available to you.

Contact Student Central.

The ECP is centrally located at 54 Cavenagh Street in the heart of the Darwin CBD.

Charles Darwin University is working with Larrakia Nation to restore place names and revitalise language across its campuses in the Northern Territory.  

The Education and Community Precinct will be named Danala, the name for dillybag, which represents a place to house knowledge.  
CDU students and staff will weave a strong spiritual Danala, a dillybag where they will carry knowledge and tools as they travel along a successful and fulfilling career.  

Danala will bring students, visitors, academics and other community members together to learn and grow in a place that strongly recognises First Nations people, culture, language and customs in place-naming.

We have launched a CDU bus service to help students get from campus to campus. To view the CDU bus timetable, visit the Bus service.

For students and staff, after-hours access will be available by securely swiping your ID card at the campus entrance.
