Our Services

Starting your career should feel exciting—not stressful. At ARC, we’re here to help UNSW students show up with confidence by making professional style easy and accessible, so you can look the part and focus on what’s next.

Between rent, uni costs, and everyday expenses, professional clothing can feel like just another burden. That’s why students can access a range of affordable formal wear, with inclusive sizing and options from blazers to trousers and more. When you dress your best for internships, career fairs, or a new job, you don’t just look good—you feel it too.

Opening Hours 

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday: 10AM to 5PM. We are not open during Flex Week.

Where to find us

Second Life Hub, Quad 1001A. 

We offer a variety of professional clothes that will be on display in Second Life Hub. Students can always drop in to browse through during our opening hours or to ask for further enquiries. Students can borrow in two ways:

1. On-the-spot borrowing

Students can borrow on the spot by filling out a form in-person during opening hours. When borrowing on the spot, students can only borrow articles of clothing that are not reserved for online orders. 

2. Online borrowing

Students can also fill in the form online through this link then pick-up for Second Life Hub. 

Note: Students are allowed to borrow up to four (4) pieces of clothing at one time. Please be sure to carefully read the Terms & Conditions in the form about our hygiene and return conditions.

For any further questions, please contact Arc: frontdesk@arc.unsw.edu.au.

Arc Career Closet is mainly donation-based, and we are always happy to accept any donations of neat and gently used professional clothing. To donate, please adhere to the following guidelines.

What to Donate

Professional clothing such as blazers, skirts, shirts, blouses, suits, jackets, dress pants, shoes, accessories (belts, ties, etc). Patterned items are acceptable as long as they are subtle and appropriate for the workplace, but we do not accept graphic designs or clothing with slogans. 

We do not accept casual or informal wear such as jeans, khakis, jewelry, or bags. These can be donated to SRC Clothing Hub. 

Clothing Guidelines

We kindly request for relatively clean and neat items of clothing that are ideally free of significant damage, including holes, tears and/or stains.

You can drop off donations anytime to Second Life Hub in QUAD1001A.
