Kangan Institute

Kangan Institute was established as the Broadmeadows College of TAFE on 28 February 1986, when it was formally opened by Prime Minister Bob Hawke. It was originally built to cater to 3000 students for $13.5 million. It subsequently acquired a series of other campuses in its first decade, including Avondale Heights, Essendon, and Moreland.

In August 1995, the institution was renamed the Kangan Institute of TAFE in honor of Myer Kangan, the founder of the TAFE system in Australia. On 1 July 1997, it merged with the John Batman College of TAFE to form the Kangan Batman Institute. The merger resulted in the closure of the former John Batman TAFE’s campus in Gaffney Street, Coburg, but the amalgamated body expanded again in 1998 when it absorbed the Richmond Automotive Campus of Barton TAFE after a major state government review.

The Avondale Heights campus closed in 2005. The “Automotive Centre of Excellence” campus at Docklands initially opened in September 2006; the completion of the three-stage Docklands development in 2011 resulted in the closure of the remaining Coburg campus (Dawson Street). The organization reverted to the “Kangan Institute” name in 2010, dropping the reference to “Batman” from the 1997 merger.

Kangan Institute operates five campuses: Broadmeadows, Essendon, a health campus at Moonee Ponds, a creative industries campus in Richmond, and the automotive campus in Docklands.
