Where is GAMSAT held in Adelaide? | Adelaide test centre location

The Adelaide Gamsat is usually held in the The Edments Building, 38 Gawler Place, Adelaide, South Australia 5000

However although ACER do tend to re-use the same venues for the test, the actual locations are not confirmed until you receive your official admissions ticket about two weeks before the test.

So to be on the safe side you should probably hold off until you get the official notification of the address before you make hotel reservations or other travel arrangements.

Travel

The Edments Building is located on the corner of Gawler Place and Rundle Mall.

If travelling by public transport there is a BTANIC tram stop which stops in front of the Art Gallery of South Australia on North Terrace which is directly in front of the Edments Building on the other side of the road.

By train the closest train station is Adelaide also on North Terrace at number 125 which is about an 8 minute walk from the test centre.

If coming by car the nearest public car park is UPark at 9/17 Gawler Place virtually next door to the test centre. A 5+ hour stay will cost you $32
