The CAPA Sydney Center is located in the North Sydney area of the Lower North Shore. A short ferry ride across Sydney’s famous harbour is the historic Rocks district. The campus is well served by public transport with easy access to all parts of the city.

The CAPA center is a lively place with a strong sense of community. Regular activities encourage interaction between students from the many institutions represented on campus and at local university campuses. These include outings to museums, concerts, and lectures, as well as special events such as holiday dinners, picnics, and walking tours covering lesser-known parts of the city. The campus has fully equipped classrooms, a faculty office, a computer lab, a student lounge, wireless Internet access, local library access, and a resource room.

Students live within commuting distance of the center, either in homestays, in shared apartments, or in dormitories. CAPA student's dormatories are located across the road from the University of Sydney and its Student Union, which has subsidized bars, sporting and social events and a complete athletic facility with a pool, exercise classes and more.

CAPA actively encourages students to explore beyond the confines of the campus in order to meet and interact with the full-time residents of the city. CAPA students are encouraged to participate in meetings, discussion groups and cultural evenings with representatives of the many ethnic and religious minorities who give Sydney its rich cosmopolitan flavor.
