Healthy and affordable food choices. Provide healthy and affordable food choices for all on campus.


UniSC is committed to providing healthy and affordable food choices for all students, staff and visitors on campus.

This ensures that students have access to wholesome food that supports their overall well-being.

The Brasserie, the main dining hall on the Sunshine Coast campus, offers a variety of hot meals, sandwiches, and vegetarian options. The Brasserie also provides student-subsidised food options, making it more affordable for students. This initiative helps to ensure that all students, regardless of their financial situation, can access nutritious meals. The Good Bean café, located between the Information Communications Technology Building and the Library, serves healthy snacks, wraps, salads, and juices, further promoting a balanced diet on campus.
