Find your place at Tonsley, a $120 million innovation hub where Flinders' Engineering, Computing, AI, and Cybersecurity programs sit alongside some of Australia's biggest names in defence, energy, and advanced manufacturing. Open Day is your chance to get inside, see the work up close, and talk to the people doing it.
Tour labs where students build award-winning medical devices and crack real cybersecurity vulnerabilities. Watch a robotic exoskeleton in action, break some concrete in the Civil Engineering lab, or find out what serious games actually means there's a whole lab dedicated to them.
Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical & Electronic Engineering
This is where award-winning medical devices get made. Orby, a game controller designed to help children with Cerebral Palsy, was developed here. So was Re-Timer, a light-therapy device for people with insomnia or jet lag. Come and find out how they do it.
Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical & Electronic Engineering
A 10-camera Vicon motion capture system, force plates that measure how you walk, a body-weight harness, and a robotic exoskeleton. The lab studies how bodies move, and how to help them move better.
Software Engineering, Computer Science, IT
See one of our teaching spaces, pick up a demo or two, and get a straight answer on the differences between Software Engineering and the other computing disciplines
AI, IT, Computer Science, Software Engineering
A research and collaboration space for human-computer and human-AI interaction. Desktop apps, virtual reality, AI, serious games, entertainment games. If it involves a person and a screen, it probably ends up here.
Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering
Testing machines, surgical tools, facilities for surgical training, and at the centre of it all, the Flinders-designed Biomechanics Hexapod, built to replicate realistic human joint movements.
Design and Technology, Advanced Manufacturing and Digital Design, Robotics Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Industry Partnered Program
Meet the Agrobots, developed and built on campus by our students. Talk to academics about the industrial design program. And if you're interested in earning while you learn, find out how the industry partner program with ASC works.
Cybersecurity, Computer Science, IT, Digital Forensics
Two miniature models, one urban, one rail, are used to find cybersecurity vulnerabilities in real-world infrastructure: electrical substations, traffic systems, street lighting, buildings, a train line. It's a testbed for the kind of threats that don't make headlines until they're already a problem.
Cybersecurity, Computer Science, IT, Digital Forensics
A cyber range for practical experience across cybersecurity, networking, programming, and IoT, in both virtual and physical environments. It's also home to the Cisco Academy at Flinders.
Game Development, AI, Software Engineering, Computer Science, IT
Games built for purposes beyond entertainment. Training, education, health, defence. The lab has the tools and the space for students to build complex, real-time, interactive experiences from scratch.
Systems and Security, Electrical & Electronic Engineering
Radio, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, DVB, infrared, NFC, GPS. The lab works across all of them, exploring how signals can be manipulated, intercepted, and secured.
Mechanical Engineering, Electrical & Electronic Engineering, Environmental Engineering
A research lab focused on wind energy. Detailed turbine models, simulated wind conditions, and research into how turbines perform and can be improved.
Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering
Break some concrete. Run the hydraulic pump. Get a real sense of what civil engineering at Flinders looks like day to day.
Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering
How do various materials including metals, plastic and composites deform and fail under force?
This lab finds out, testing materials to breaking point across a range of conditions.
Join a welcome talk every hour (10am, 11am, 12pm), student ambassador-led campus tours will depart from this or head directly to the lab you'd like to see where there will be teaching staff ready to show you a demonstration.
Find your way to Tonsley by train, bus, or bike. The campus is on the Flinders Line at Tonsley Railway Station, making the train the easiest option by far. Car parking on site is limited, so plan ahead if you're driving. Rideshares can drop off at the Eastern Promenade entrance, and cyclists will find parking available on site.
