William Angliss Institute

What William Angliss Institute does

William Angliss Institute is a private government-endorsed TAFE and higher education institution headquartered at 555 La Trobe Street, Melbourne, Australia, with a second campus in Alexandria, Sydney. Founded in 1940 and operating with approximately 400 staff and 230+ specialist teachers, it delivers vocational education, training, and higher education degrees across five pillars: foods (baking, cookery, patisserie, food science, meat processing, culinary management), tourism (aviation, tourism, travel), hospitality (hospitality management, hotel management), events (event management), and hotel management (including the Angliss International Hotel School).

Its educational product is grounded in a substantial physical-facility footprint — 10 commercial training kitchens, 110 classrooms, a five-star accommodation and hotel management training centre, a mock airplane cabin, The Coffee Academy, the Dilmah Tea Academy, a chocolate laboratory, food technology laboratory, gelateria, demonstration lecture theatres, wine theory room, culinary garden, and on-campus training restaurants (Angliss Restaurant, Angliss Bistro, Restaurant Rubric) plus cafes (Cafe 555, Tram Cafe, Cafe Imparo) and a Bakeshop. Technology infrastructure centres on the myWAI student portal (timetable, results, Moodle-based e-learning). The institute also runs signature events including the Great Chefs Program and Annual Patisserie High Tea.

The business model is multi-streamed and government-supported. Revenue derives from domestic student tuition (including Free TAFE pathways for eligible Victorian students), international student tuition (with published 2026 fees and agent-driven recruitment), short courses priced individually between roughly $27.50 and $2,250 AUD, on-campus dine-and-conference revenue from publicly accessible training restaurants and catering, industry/workforce development services (TSS and OSAP skills assessments, RPL), and Victorian and Commonwealth Government funding as a TAFE provider. Students come from 60 nationalities and are recruited both directly and through an Agent Directory plus ELICOS English-language pathway partners; offshore Australian qualifications are delivered through partner institutions such as the Colombo Academy of Hospitality Management (CAHM) in Sri Lanka.
