Christian Medical Fellowship of Australia has its historical roots in the Inter Varsity Fellowship (IVF) and the Christian Medical Fellowship (CMF) that started in the UK. At the same time as many other similar groups were being set up around the world after World War II, many separate Australian state fellowships of doctors and dentists were being founded.

These groups united as a national body in 1962 but it was not until 1998 that the Christian Medical and Dental Fellowship of Australia (CMDFA) was officially established. In 2000 the central office in Sydney opened to assist with growing administrative needs.

CMDFA is linked with the International Christian Medical and Dental Association.
