The club

Meet MUIC

Student-led, culture-first, charity-driven — the club behind the biggest nights at Melbourne Uni.

01 — Our story

Started by students.
Carried by thousands.

MUIC exists to celebrate Indian culture at the University of Melbourne — and to share it with everyone. Garba nights that fill halls, boat parties under the Bolte, club takeovers with four-figure crowds, and a Ball that’s become one of the biggest student nights in the city.

We’re entirely student-run. Every event is planned, promoted and delivered by the committee — and the profits go to charity. That’s been the model from the start: throw the best nights in Melbourne, and make them count.

02 — What we stand for

Five things we don’t compromise on

  • Culture Indian culture front and centre — festivals, music, dance and food, shared with the whole university.
  • Community A place to find your people. Thousands of students, one family.
  • Charity Profits from our events go to charitable causes in India and Australia — $30,000+ donated over the past 3 years.
  • Belonging Everyone’s welcome — wherever you’re from, however well you know the steps.
  • Student leadership Run entirely by students. Every event, every post, every partnership.
03 — The events

What a year with MUIC looks like

Seven major events a year across three lanes — cultural, social and flagship.

Cultural

Garba, festivals and traditions — warm, loud and full of colour. The nights that feel like home, open to everyone.

Social

Boat parties at golden hour and club takeovers after dark — the nights that sell out and stay on the feed for weeks.

Flagship

Rehab, Relapse and the Royal Peacock Ball — the nights that headline the year, with four-figure crowds at the front of them.

Rehab is MUIC at full volume — a club takeover with festival-grade production. The 2025 edition drew over 1,200 attendees, and it returns 10 July.

Flagship — The Ball

1,000+ dressed to the nines

The Royal Peacock Ball is the formal heart of the MUIC calendar — banquet tables, stage performances and a thousand-plus guests who got the memo on the dress code.

The other takeover

Rehab’s sister night — full-scale production, wall-to-wall lasers and a floor that never slowed down. Straight from the Relapse 2025 aftermovie.

05 — Behind MUIC

The team behind the nights

Every MUIC event is built by a student committee — venue runs, sponsor calls, content shoots and 2am pack-downs. The faces change each year; the standard doesn’t.
