About

OUR HERITAGE

Bedford College was launched in 1943 by the Baptist Churches in NSW to meet Australia's great emerging social needs due to the devastation of families during World War II. Women needed essential job skills to join the rapidly changing workforce so they could provide for their families. With a benevolent heart, the Baptist movement donated all the funds necessary to start this initiative to support women to find independence, employment, and success.

Almost 80 years later, Bedford College maintains this strong desire to help equip all people to access great opportunities by learning the skills necessary to find secure employment. The College believes employment provides an essential pathway to contribute and help make a positive difference in the world.

We are proud of our Baptist heritage and aim to treat everyone with kindness, respect, and fairness. Today, the College welcomes both women and men, from Australia and overseas, and from all cultural and spiritual backgrounds to join our cause.
