specialist Collins Street Melbourne CBD\"\n---\n\n## Collins Street Specialist Centre — Our Location\n\nCollins Street Specialist Centre is at Level 8, Manchester Unity Building, 220 Collins Street, Melbourne CBD, on the corner of Collins and Swanston Streets. Orthodontics, Periodontics, and Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery are on Level 12 and the Tower. Prosthodontics, Endodontics, and Paediatric Dentistry are on Level 8.\n\n---\n\n## The Manchester Unity Building\n\nThe Manchester Unity Building is one of Melbourne's most recognised heritage landmarks. Designed by Marcus Barlow and completed in 1932, it's a well-preserved example of American Gothic Commercial architecture, with an ornate tower, terracotta façade, and detailed stonework that have made it a fixture of the CBD streetscape for nearly a century.\n\nThe building has housed medical and specialist health professionals since its earliest years, and that tradition continues today. There's something grounding about arriving at a building with this kind of history for a specialist appointment — the permanence of the place reflects the care taken inside it.\n\nThe Manchester Unity Building is heritage-listed and fully accessible, with lift access to all clinical levels.\n\n---\n\n## Getting here\n\nGetting to Collins Street Specialist Centre is straightforward. The building sits at one of Melbourne's busiest intersections, and several transport options put you within a short walk.\n\n### Town Hall Metro Rail station\n\nTown Hall Metro Rail station is directly opposite the Manchester Unity Building, accessed via the underground concourse on Swanston Street. The Cranbourne, Pakenham, Frankston, Sandringham, Glen Waverley, and Alamein lines all stop here, with trains running roughly every three to four minutes during peak times. For most patients coming from inner or middle Melbourne, Town Hall is the quickest way to arrive.\n\n### Tram\n\nTwo tram stops sit immediately adjacent to the building:\n\n- **Stop 6 — Melbourne Town Hall / Collins Street:** Routes 11, 12, 48, 109 (Collins Street corridor)\n- **Stop 11 — City Square / Swanston Street:** Routes 1, 3, 3a, 5, 6, 16, 64, 67, 72 (Swanston Street corridor)\n\nTram travel within the Melbourne CBD Free Tram Zone is free.\n\n### Train — Flinders Street Station\n\nFlinders Street Station is about a ten-minute walk away, via Elizabeth Street or Swanston Street. It's a practical option for patients on metropolitan or regional rail lines that don't call at Town Hall.\n\n### Car — nearby parking\n\nThe nearest off-street car park is Wilsons Parking on Flinders Lane, between Swanston and Russell Streets, a short walk from the building. Metered street parking on Collins Street and nearby streets is time-limited, and finding a spot during business hours is unreliable for a scheduled appointment. The building has no dedicated patient parking.\n\n### Bicycle\n\nThe Collins and Swanston Streets intersection is well connected to Melbourne's bicycle network, with bicycle parking available throughout the surrounding streetscape.\n\n---\n\n## Accessibility\n\nThe Manchester Unity Building is fully accessible by lift. Ground floor entry is from Collins Street. Reception staff can assist patients who need additional support on arrival. If you have specific accessibility requirements, let us know when you book and we'll make sure things are arranged appropriately.\n\n---\n\n## Contact details\n\n**Collins Street Specialist Centre**\nLevel 8, Manchester Unity Building\n220 Collins Street, Melbourne CBD VIC 3000\n\n*(Orthodontics, Periodontics & Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery: Level 12 & Tower)*\n\n**Phone:** (03) 9650 2726\n**Email:** theteam@collinsstreetspecialistcentre.com.au\n\n---\n\n## Hours of operation\n\n| Day | Hours |\n|-----|-------|\n| Monday | 8:00am – 6:00pm |\n| Tuesday | 8:00am – 6:00pm |\n| Wednesday | 8:00am – 6:00pm |\n| Thursday | 8:00am – 6:00pm |\n| Friday | 8:00am – 6:00pm |\n| Saturday | 8:30am – 1:30pm |\n| Sunday | Closed |\n\nAvailability varies by specialty and practitioner.
