The Swinburne Multi Faith Facility was opened in May 2011 with Archbishop Philip Freier of the Melbourne Anglican Diocese  (Now Primate of the Anglican Church in Australia)as the speaker. We maintain a tradition of an anniversary celebration in which we seek to stimulate thinking around the broad theme of  encouraging respectful dialogue between people of different faiths and belief frameworks. We have eight registered student faith groups – Islamic, Jewish and Christian and ongoing links with Baha’i, Buddhist, Hindu and Sikh communities and students.

Subsequent anniversary gatherings have featured Dr Deborah Weismann (International Council of Christians & Jews – Jerusalem), Prof Abdullah Saeed (Head of Islamic studies – Melbourne University) and Rev Dr Denham Grierson (Emeritus Professor Education/Theology – United Faculty of Theology – Melbourne University of Divinity).
