Careers 

Term 3 is a very exciting period for all Year 12 students as they will have the opportunity to apply for courses at various tertiary institutions.

Applications for courses commencing in 2022 are now open via vtac.edu.au

What is VTAC?

The Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC) is a hub for tertiary course applications in Victoria. VTAC receives, processes and forwards course applications to universities, TAFEs and independent tertiary colleges in Victoria (and a few outside Victoria). VTAC does not decide who gets into a course. All decisions about which applicants are offered a place are made by institutions. VTAC also processes special consideration claims through the SEAS application and some scholarship applications. VTAC’s other role is calculating the ATAR for Year 12 students.
