STEM Sista Program
The STEM Sista program was created to empower young women aged 14-17 who enjoy STEM subjects but may not be certain about pursuing those careers. We will show you the possibilities in STEM careers so you can get a better understanding and see who you can become.
The program is delivered over three days at our industry partners board rooms and at Universities.
STEM Sista attendees have the opportunity meet 8 – 12 STEM professionals per program to hear first-hand experiences and how they got to where they are.
The programs are currently held in Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne and Sydney.

VTAC ATAR and Scaling Guide
The ATAR is a rank, not a score. It’s designed specifically to assist some tertiary institutions in selecting applicants for some courses.
The ATAR is only one tool used for selection into tertiary courses, and not all courses use the ATAR. This guide explains:
- what the ATAR is
- what the ATAR isn’t
- how the ATAR is calculated
- what scaling is and why we do it
- what your aggregate is
- rules and restrictions regarding study combinations for how your aggregate is calculated, and
- how your aggregate becomes your ATAR.
