Perth and regional WA Curtin University's main campus is in
Bentley, Western Australia, about south-east of the
Perth central business district. The campus was developed on a former pine plantation established in the 1930s. Curtin operated a campus in the suburb of
Joondalup, which opened in 1994. It was operated in conjunction with the Australian Institute for University Study. The campus was closed around 2005. After being abandoned for several years it is now used for
North Metropolitan TAFE campus. Exploration Geophysics and
Petroleum Engineering are at the co-location research facilities of the Australian Resources Research Centre (ARRC), which also houses offices of
CSIRO Earth Science and Resource Engineering and National Measurement Institute. The ARRC is in the Technology Park Bentley, adjacent to the main Bentley campus. Some university staff, researchers and students on practicum work in other locations, such as the Oral Health Centre of WA (OHCWA) in Nedlands and at
Royal Perth Hospital, amongst other organisations. Curtin has two
bus stations, connected to the
Transperth public transport network. The stations are also linked to the
Mandurah railway line's
Canning Bridge Station by a shuttle bus service. Curtin also has an internal bus network trialling autonomous buses on campus. Curtin has campuses outside
Perth, the largest being the Western Australian School of Mines at
Kalgoorlie, and a number of micro-campuses in
Esperance,
Margaret River,
Geraldton, and elsewhere. Nursing is the only course offered in Geraldton. The
Muresk Institute at
Northam left Curtin in 2012.
