Our identity and acceptance as the local adult and community education provider has developed over many years from the establishment of the Hastings College of Adult Education in 1984 which offered the first local community courses. The College is independent, and most importantly, community owned. In 2019 the time has come to celebrate serving the wider mid north coast; Taree, Port Macquarie, Wauchope, Kempsey, Nambucca and Coffs.

Over the past three years we have expanded our physical campus network while maintaining our use of local venues in a range of towns throughout the region. Previously Port Macquarie Community College, our name and structure changed in 2019 and we became the Mid North Coast Community College Ltd, however we will retain our family of different sub-brands providing services to different audiences.

We are governed locally by a voluntary Management Committee under the Constitution of Mid North Coast Community College Ltd. We receive support from the New South Wales government through the Department Education and Training and are accountable to the Government and the community we serve.

Our college offers a diverse range of short courses for skill development, personal enrichment and pathways to higher education as well as accredited qualifications and Statements of Attainment. Offering flexibility, quality learning and personal service, we can design, develop and deliver training to suit the needs of business and individuals.
