The station is located between the Nepean Highway and Station Street, with platform access from both. A level crossing is located at the Melbourne end of the station.

The station consists of two side platforms. Platform 1 contains a large brick building with an enclosed waiting room and a ticket office inside while platform 2 contains a semi-large brick building. A large Metcard machine is located inside the waiting room, which is able to dispense most ticketing options available and also accept notes and coins. A small Metcard machine is located at the entrance to platform 2.

A signal box is located on the western (city bound) platform, which controls a crossover to allow trains to terminate here. Approximately 100m from the end of the platform there are rail sidings that can hold a number of trains.
