History
The PTC traces back its existence to 1866 when "The Theological Hall of the Presbyterian Church of Victoria" was formed. In 1974, however, the whole staff of the Theological Hall opted to join with the Uniting Church, and the continuing Presbyterian Church of Victoria opened a provisional Theological Hall in Hawthorn with only a handful of staff and students. It relocated to the top floor of the Assembly Hall building in Melbourne in 1977, and again to the present site in Box Hill in 1986.
