Broadway scheme
Applicants who have suffered serious educational disadvantage may apply under the Broadway Scheme.
This scheme is mainly intended for current-year Australian Year 12 students who are eligible to receive a UAI or equivalent.
Applicants with qualifications other than current school leaver qualifications normally accepted by the University are also eligible to apply unless you are undertaking, or have previously undertaken, recognised tertiary study. Tertiary study includes associate diploma, diploma, advanced diploma or degree-level studies undertaken in Australia or equivalent study overseas.

General information
To be eligible for consideration you will be required to demonstrate that your educational performance has been seriously affected by circumstances beyond your control. Some of the types of disadvantage that may be considered are:
- English language difficulties;
- disrupted schooling;
- financial hardship;
- illness or disability; and
- difficult home or school environments.
Approval under the scheme does not guarantee admission, but does allow successful applicants to compete for a place with a UAI up to five ranks below the course cut-off.
The University allocates approximately 500 new student places for Broadway Scheme applicants.
The scheme is open for entry to most undergraduate courses offered through UAC. The University reserves the right to vary the courses available. Applicants should confirm with the University the availability of their chosen course under the Broadway Scheme.
