Our Compass Caloundra Campus was established in 2007 and is located in the sports precinct of Caloundra.

Located opposite the Caloundra Aquatic Lifestyle Centre, the campus offers easy access to a variety of sports and recreation facilities and is only a ten-minute walk from the CBD and local beaches.

Originally established as a community soccer club, the site has been transformed into a dynamic learning and development hub, purpose-built to support a growing number of Trainees from across the region.

Compass Caloundra now delivers both our core programs and unique, customised opportunities, making it a signature campus where creativity thrives—from pottery to podcasting!
