The University of the Third Age (U3A) is an international, not-for-profit organisation run entirely by volunteers and operating in many countries around the world. U3A Nunwading Inc. was established in 1990 to provide learning opportunities and social activities for retired and semi-retired members of the local community.

U3A has no academic entry requirements or formal assessments and classes are delivered and administered by member volunteers. Classes are held on weekdays during school terms excluding public holidays. In addition to learning activities there are a number of social events throughout the year.
