The museum was originally established in 1972, as the Royal Australian Army Ordnance Corps Centre at Bandiana. As the collection grew in size, it was moved to a large shed in 1976. In 1996 the collection was enlarged through mergers with various smaller collections, and then renamed The Army Museum at Bandiana.In 2009, Australian military historian and journalist John Laffin's collection of memorabilia was added to the collection.
