Unity College Australia was established in Canberra, Australia in 1995 as the Canberra Ministry Training College, and has its foundations in grass roots ministry training for local churches.

In 1996 the name was changed to Unity College to better reflect the unity between the churches in Canberra to pool their resources and enable training previously only afforded by larger churches in the capital cities.

In 1998 the College obtained its Registered Training Organisation (RTO) status and began delivering government accredited training. Unity College has grown from strength to strength to include a strong emphasis on creative arts and continued open access to ministry training.

More recently the college has also taken up a national focus to provide training in selected other major centres around the country. ‘Australia’ has been added to the name to reflect this emphasis. The college has delivered teaching in the ACT, New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and Western Australia. In the last couple of years the college has also established a permanent physical presence at a number of locations. These are shown on the contacts page.

In 2006-8 further locations in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia and Tasmania have been added for teaching and an expanded range of courses are now available. The college has more recently added a number of courses with more general vocational outcomes not specific to Christian ministry.
