Specific information for interstate students

Making the jump from high school to university can be a daunting one - especially when combined with a move from interstate. Below you’ll find some information that will help you understand more about applying, studying and enjoying university.

ATAR (and its equivalent)

The ATAR (Australian Tertiary Admission Rank) is the mark of overall achievement given to NSW and ACT Year 12 students.

The overall measures of achievement are the same for NSW, ACT, Victoria, NT, SA, WA and Tasmania. That means that an ATAR of 81.00 equals a TER of 81.00 and an ENTER of 81.00.

Your application can be considered if you are eligible to be awarded the standard senior secondary qualification offered in your state as well as an overall result which is equivalent to the ATAR.

As an interstate applicant, you have the same chance of being selected as a student from NSW with an equivalent overall result. The University does not prefer home state students over interstate students when offering places in its undergraduate courses. As an interstate applicant, you are eligible to apply for consideration under the University's special entry schemes.
