Named after the School's founder, the Alf Jacka Library has excellent facilities. The collection is one of the most extensive of any naturopathic college in the country. Currently, the library collection comprises over 7,000 texts and 12,000 print and online journals in over 160 titles and the collection is expanding continuously. The library also contains audio tapes, video-tapes, and an an increasing number of CD-ROM's and DVD's for loan.

All SSNT students may join the library with full borrowing rights at no cost. The library is also an ideal venue for quiet study with excellent facilities for research . There is also a relaxation area for general reading.

The School has excellent computer facilities, including both PCs and Mac, which are provided free of charge for SSNT students. These computers have access to word-processing programs as well as high speed broadband access and wireless access to the Internet, allowing students to explore and gather up-to date global information on a diverse range of areas.

The common area is a large bright and airy space with all the facilities needed for relaxation including easy chairs, sofas, and a bar seating area adjacent to a kitchen which includes a refrigerator, microwave ovens, toasters and sandwich maker. The facilities also include showers for student use.

The rooftop area is another common area for students to sit and relax or study. The rooftop has comfortable indoor and outdoor seating and has a kitchen for student use.

One of the facilities of which the school is most proud is the College Clinic, which provides practical training for students and inexpensive health-care for the general public. The clinic is staffed by final year students under the supervision of qualified practitioners.

The Clinic comprises two separate areas: a naturopathy clinic and a combined Chinese Medicine, Myotherapy and Massage clinic. Complementary health care in each of these areas is available both to SSNT students and members of the general public.

The naturopathic services available include western herbal medicine, homoeopathy, dietary advice, flower essences, iridology, nutritional therapy and celloid therapy.

Both relaxation massage and Chinese massage are available in the massage Clinic. Chinese herbal medicine, acupuncture, moxibustion and cupping are available in the Chinese Medicine clinic.

Myotherapy treatment, utilises a variety of manual therapies, electro-stimulation, dry-needling, corrective exercises and thermal therapy to address a range of conditions to treat and prevent pain and dysfunction associated with musculoskeletal and nervous systems.

Members of the public can make an appointment for any of the above treatments by ringing the College Clinic directly on 9416-1448.

In 2000 the school set up and still maintains an off-campus Herb Garden in the Edinburgh Gardens in North Fitzroy for teaching purposes. This facility was pioneered by a graduate of the SSNT, Jane Hilson. It contains specimens of many of the herbs used in western Herbal Medicine and is an extremely valuable teaching resource in the Bachelor of Health Science-Naturopathy and the Introduction to Naturopathy courses.

The Southern School of Natural Therapies is located in the heart of Fitzroy’s vibrant Brunswick Street district. An eclectic mix of restaurants, cafés, shops and nightlife is always close at hand for that important downtime between assignment deadlines. From gourmet cuisine to quick vegan snacks and everything in between, the local area leaves no taste wanting.

We are also only a short tram ride or easy walk to the Melbourne CBD, with ample accommodation options available in the surrounding Fitzroy area and other inner-city suburbs such as Carlton, Collingwood, Clifton Hill and Richmond.
