Elite Athletes and Performers Scheme
Overview
The Elite Athletes and Performers Scheme is for applicants who are able to demonstrate that they are elite athletes or performers, and have had training, competitive and/or practice commitments which have significantly affected their results.
An applicant who is approved under this scheme may be admitted into their course of choice with results which are below, but close to, the normal entry standard for that course. Applicants cannot gain admission into their course of choice with results that are well below the course entry standard.
For a Year 12 applicant, approval under this scheme may mean that the applicant can gain admission into a course with an ATAR of up to five points below the regular cut-off. The concession may be somewhat less than five points for competitive courses, and certain courses do not offer any concession under this scheme.
This scheme is available for domestic applicants seeking admission into most undergraduate courses which are offered through the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC).
Application process
In addition to applying through UAC, you must complete an application form and submit supporting documentation which proves your claims. You must return your completed application, including supporting documentation, to the Admissions Office before the end of October. Please use the checklist to ensure your application is complete.
