Just as the kitchen is so often the heart of a home, the Dining Hall is the heart of Burgmann College. With the help of our partners from gather by Cater Care, staff and residents come together to connect, support one another, and enjoy fellowship over a range of wholesome and nutritious meals.
Burgmann promotes the ‘Table Rule’: the tradition of joining others already sitting at a table until that table is filled before moving to a new table. This tradition helps new residents connect and form relationships with others.
The Dining Hall is also used for many on-site events including Orientation Week, Bush week, guest speaker visits, Burgmann Resident Association Events, and trivia & talent nights. The Dining Hall also provides Special Celebration meals during the year including the annual Commencement Dinner, the NAIDOC Week Bush Luncheon, Valete, and Christmas in July. These events are held both on-site and at venues across Canberra.
Burgmann College has proudly partnered with gather by Cater Care to provide nourishing meals for our residents. The gather team is committed to supporting resident wellbeing and can cater for dietary requirements including, but not limited to, vegan & vegetarian diets, gluten-free & coeliac needs, Halal & Kosher requirements, and all nut allergies. If you require any special meal plans the gather team will be happy to assist.
Burgmann College residents have three catering options: Fully Catered, Self-Catered and Flexi-Catered.

This is the only catering option for Undergraduate students residing in Homer, Barassi and Mortlock wings.
It includes 21 meals a week: breakfast, lunch and dinner every day. The fully catered plan is not available for residents in the Village.
This meal plan is available for Village residents only. Being on a self-catered plan means you cook your own meals in your apartment.
All residents on self-catered meal plans are given 3 free meals a week in our dining hall: Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday dinners.
Village residents can change their meal plan during the year. Only one change is accepted per semester to a catering plan, which will affect accommodation costs and payment plans.
This meal plan is available for Village residents only.
A flexi catered meal plan offers two meals per day / 14 meals week in our dining hall. These can be a combination of meal options per day:
If the two-meal option is not utilised in the day, they do not accrue for bulk use later.
LIMITATION: Village residents can change their meal plan once only during their contracted period.
