The institute was established as the William Angliss Food Trades School following a donation by businessman Sir William Charles Angliss (£20,000) in 1939. Classes began on 18 September 1940 with the majority of the initial enrolments coming from the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). Approximately 193 students were enrolled, with 68 in Butchery, 51 in Bread Baking, 31 in Pastry Cooking and 43 in Cooking. In 1960, responding to requests from local industry leaders, the school expanded its curriculum to include programs in hospitality, administration, catering, and food and beverage services. Tourism programs were introduced in 1970, prompting a rebranding to William Angliss College, and later to William Angliss Institute. As interest in culinary careers increased in the 1980s, the foods department grew rapidly. In 1990, the Institute's team won five gold medals at the IKA Culinary Olympics held in Frankfurt, Germany. In 2006, Chef, Paul Bocuse delivered lectures to cookery students. In 2007, 39 students enrolled in the inaugural Degree programs of the Bachelor or Culinary Management and Bachelor of Tourism and Hospitality Management. The new Link Building was launched in 2010, providing new classrooms and a modern Learning Resource Centre for students. The Angliss International Hotel School was established in 2017 and postgraduate studies commenced in 2019. In 2024, the Great Chefs program celebrated 30 years as the most successful program of its kind in Australia bringing more than 100 industry-leading chef and restaurants into the Angliss Restaurant. William Angliss Institute published a commemorative Great Chefs Cookbook including recipes by 15 of Australia's respected chefs, who have contributed to the ongoing success of the Angliss Great Chefs program.
