Melbourne's Top Meeting & Training Rooms Venues 2025

The Cambium is a unique property that is exclusively yours for your entire event. When curating special events at The Cambium we promote our philosophy of communal minded design, where thinkers gather to create meaningful change. We encourage guests to move around the property, celebrate and experience the unique natural bush environment here in Red Hill. When curating our events, we always look to offer moments of discovery and joy. This takes many forms, it may be an impromptu speech, moment of music or taste of something sensational. The Cambium houses three buildings nestled under the towering Manna Gums. One of the things that makes The Cambium so unique is that it is exclusively yours for your entire stay. We encourage you to make yourself completely at home alongside the wild kangaroos and native birds.
