About the Sydney Branch

The Anthroposophical Society in Sydney (St. John’s Group) is based at Rudolf Steiner House, 307 Sussex Street, Sydney, a central city location near Town Hall Station.

A large range of activities take place at Rudolf Steiner House, supporting members and friends in their Anthroposophical quest. There are regular lectures every Tuesday evening during school terms, as well as study groups, workshops, eurythmy groups and art exhibitions.

First Class, part of the School of Spiritual Science, is also held there once a month.

There are three available rooms for booking, for like-minded groups to hold their meetings or activities. There is a members’ library. You can browse the library catalogue here but must be a member to borrow books. 

Rudolf Steiner Book Centre

The House is also home of Rudolf Steiner Book Centre, which distributes anthroposophic-based literature through both offline and online services in Sydney, Australia and worldwide.
