Mitcham’s excellent connectivity stems from its comprehensive transport options, combining rail, road, and proximity to major employment and retail centres, as of December 2025.
The suburb is serviced by two train stations: Mitcham Station, on the Belgrave and Lilydale lines, currently offering approximately 35-40 minute commutes to Flinders Street Station; and Heatherdale Station, providing access to the same lines just a short distance away. Crucially, EastLink is easily accessible via several on-ramps along Mitcham Road, facilitating efficient car travel to the CBD and Mornington Peninsula. Beyond direct transport, Mitcham benefits from its location; it’s approximately 20 kilometres east of the CBD and is adjacent to major hubs like Box Hill and Ringwood. Eastland Shopping Centre in Ringwood is a short drive or bus ride away, and the Eastern Freeway is readily accessible via EastLink. Local bus routes connect residents to surrounding suburbs and train stations. Families also benefit from proximity to schools like Antonio Park Primary and Mullauna Secondary, often within walking distance for residents in central Mitcham.
This multi-faceted transport network and strategic location make Mitcham a highly accessible suburb for commuters and families alike in 2026.
