Monash was set up by a Demonstration of the State Parliament of Victoria in 1958 as a result of the Murray Report, which was dispatched in 1957 by then Head overseer Robert Menzies to set up the second school in the state of Victoria. The school was named after the detectable Australian general Sir John Monash. This was the essential school in Australia to be named after a man, rather than a city, area or state.

The primary grounds was in the south-eastern Melbourne suburb of Clayton (how at present the City of Monash). The principle College Committee, drove by Monash's first Chancellor Sir Robert Blackwood, picked Sir Louis Matheson, to be the essential Bad propensity Chancellor of Monash College, a position he held until 1976. The College was surrendered a wide site of 100 hectares of open range in Clayton. The 100 hectares of territory includes the past Talbot Epileptic Colony. 

From its first affirmation of 357 understudies at Clayton on 13 Walk 1961, the school turned out to be rapidly in size and understudy numbers so that by 1967, it had enrolled more than 21,000 understudies since its foundation. In its underlying years, it offered student and postgraduate degrees in building, drug, science, expressions, monetary angles, legislative issues, guideline, and law. It was an important supplier for overall understudy places under the Colombo Arrangement, which saw the essential Asian understudies enter the Australian preparing system. 

In its underlying years of educating, investigation and association, Monash was not hindered by delved in ordinary practices. Monash could grasp present day approaches without resistance from the people who supported the standard. A flow administrative structure was set up; Australia's first research centers and allows devoted to Indigenous Australians were developed. 

1970s onwards 

From the mid-1960s to the mid 1970s, Monash transformed into the point of convergence of understudy radicalism in Australia.It was the site of various mass understudy appears, particularly concerning Australia's part in Vietnam War and enrollment. By the late 1960s, a couple understudy affiliations, some of which were influenced by or supporters of communism, turned their middle to Vietnam, with different blockades and sit-ins.In one unprecedented event that came to be known as the Monash Attack, understudies compelled then Executive Malcolm Fraser to conceal in a basement at the Alexander Theater, in an important dispute over the Whitlam rejection. 

In the late 1970s and 1980s, some of Monash's most reported investigation overcame its initiating of in-vitro arrangement (IVF). Driven by Educators Carl Wood and Alan Trounson, the Monash IVF Program fulfilled the world's first clinical IVF pregnancy in 1973.In 1980, they passed on the essential IVF newborn child in Australia.This at last transformed into a tremendous wellspring of pay for the College amid a period when school financing in Australia was beginning to back off. 

In the late 1980s, the Dawkins Changes changed the scene of cutting edge training in Australia. Under the organization of Bad propensity Chancellor Mal Logan, Monash changed definitely. In 1988, Monash College had emerge grounds in Clayton, with around 15,000 understudies. Somewhat more than 10 years sometime later, it had 8 grounds (tallying 2 abroad), an European research and indicating center, and more than 50,000 understudies, making it the greatest and most internationalized Australian college.

That year, the College secured an eighteenth Century Tuscan Royal living arrangement to open an investigation and indicating center in Prato, Italy. 

Meanwhile, Australian schools defied remarkable enthusiasm for overall understudy places, which Monash met on a greater scale than most. Today, around 30% of its understudies are from outside Australia. Monash understudies start from more than 100 one of a kind countries, and talk more than 90 unmistakable tongues. The addition in overall understudies, merged with the College's augmentation, inferred that Monash's pay gigantically extended all through the 1990s, and it is as of now one of Australia's primary 200 exporters. 

2000 onwards
