Accessible, healthy food for MQ students
The Macquarie University Food Hub provides accessible food services to support students’ wellbeing, study and day-to-day needs.
Through partnerships with Foodbank and other sponsors, and funding from the Student Services and Amenities Fees (SSAF), we provide essential food items for free to help students access nutritious food while balancing study and living expenses.
From free breakfasts and lunches to pantry staples, fresh produce and cooking workshops, the Food Hub is here to help you eat well while you study.
