The Journey So Far

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 Unity College Australia was chosen to better reflect the unity between the churches desiring to pool their resources and provide 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 accredited training.

Unity College Australia grew from strength to strength to include a strong emphasis on creative arts, continued open access to ministry training and the approval of a Training and Assessment qualification.

In 2004 the college commenced a national expansion through the establishment of a National Office and the provision of training through partners in selected centres around the country. ‘Australia’ was added to the name to reflect the new national emphasis.

The college recognised the need to train in the workplace with a Christian worldview and is delivering such training either directly or through partnerships with like minded people.

The college also expanded into general vocational training areas from 2005 onwards starting with a partnership with Charity Computers which saw delivery of a number of IT training courses in a practical context.  Since that time training has expanded into areas such as hairdressing, hospitality, business and management as well as English as a Second Language.

In 2009 the College has also formed a partnership into the schools sector and is now working together with two christian schools to deliver VET in Schools Training.

New partner campuses have and are being established in various locations across Australia with around 20 currently in existence.
