The figures below include applications and offers made through each admission centre and includes applications from both Year 12 and non-Year 12 domestic applicants.
This data does not include applications and offers made directly by institutions (except for Tasmania, which is a University and TAC) and offer data does not equate to enrolment data.
Australian tertiary admissions centres support access to tertiary education through a variety of pathways, including calculation of the Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank (ATAR) for current Year 12 students.
ACTAC National Convenor Teresa Tjia congratulated all those who received offers: “Students who received offers have now commenced their new courses at tertiary institutions across the country. Tertiary admissions centres play a key role in connecting students with these next steps on their educational journey.”
