Between 1965 and 1990, the agency known as Student Services was responsible for the majority of the functions now performed by Community Services, which became a separate agency in 1991. During 1991, an inaugural director was appointed for Community Services, which encompassed the Caulfield, Clayton and Frankston (now Peninsula) campuses. Prior to 1991, the individual campuses controlled their various services independently, but under the merger agreement it was decided that the various services should be centralised. In 1991, Community Services included counselling, health, chaplaincy, housing, student financial advice. On the Caulfield and Frankston campuses it also included Child Care and Legal Aid.
In 1992, the management and transmission of child care moved from Equal Opportunity to Community Services and became known as Child and Family Services. In 1993, Community Services became one of the five branches which made up the Student Services Division. The other four branches included Student Admissions and Records, Student Relations and Enquiries, Examination and Certification, Language and Learning Services. The services offered as of 1993 were; child and family services, counselling services, financial advisory services, housing services and legal services.
In 2007 the name was changed to Health Wellbeing and Development, then again in 2012 to Campus Community Division. The services offered as of 2015 were: chaplaincy; careers, leadership and volunteering; non-residential colleges; residential services; safer community unit; social justice unit; sport; student engagement and support; Team MONASH; university health services.
