About Christian Heritage College

CHC is a fully accredited private higher education provider located at Carindale, Brisbane, that aspires to model a Christian higher education alternative. Commencing from a vision birthed by Order of Australia recipient, Emeritus Professor Brian Millis in 1986, CHC exists to re-imagine how we think about human flourishing, vocation, calling and the integration of faith and learning across all fields of human endeavour.

CHC specializes in degree level courses that are people shaping and people making. Our courses celebrate people making principles and are taught by an exceptional staff who integrate faith-learning imperatives in all that they do. With over 25 courses across five major fields – Business, Education & Humanities, Liberal Arts, Social Sciences and Ministries – CHC provides a Christian alternative for students seeking a university-level qualification. Whilst our courses are taught from a Christian perspective, we welcome students from all backgrounds and traditions.

Campus information

Our buildings, surrounded by areas of natural bushland, provide excellent teaching facilities, as well as student recreation areas. In addition to its own facilities, the College adjoins one of Australia’s largest churches, Citipointe Church, and one of Australia’s largest Christian Schools, Citipointe Christian College. The onsite coffee shop, Rivers Café and Books, is a favourite meeting place. Childcare is available on site.

The College Library holds a significant collection of books, academic and professional journals, and non-print resources including special collections of audio and video, CD and DVD and online resources. Our highly qualified staff assist both on campus and off campus students to make the most of the Library’s extensive resources.

Convenient public transport is within walking distance from the College and students enjoy easy access to the Gold and Sunshine Coasts via the Gateway and the Pacific Motorway.
