DOMESTIC APPLICANTS

Domestic applicants who recently completed secondary education (completed in the past two years)

Applicants are ranked by ATAR and offers made based on the number of places available. In 2019, the lowest ATAR to receive an offer into this course was 50.3. The lowest ATAR to receive an offer may change from year to year based on the number of applications we receive.

We recommend previous studies in Health Sciences, Sport Science, Biology, Mathematics and English at the senior secondary level or equivalent, but this is not a prerequisite for admission.

Applicants who have recently completed senior secondary studies but have not received an ATAR may still be eligible for admission. We will consider your study plan and subject results on a case-by-case basis when we assess your application.

Domestic applicants with higher education study

To be eligible for an offer, you must have:

• Completed a course at Associate Degree level or higher at any Australian higher education provider (or an equivalent overseas qualification); or
• Completed at least four units of study (equivalent to 50 UTAS credit points) of a course at Associate Degree level (or an equivalent overseas qualification). If you have failed any units your application may be subject to further review before an offer is made; or
• Competed the UTAS University Preparation Program, or an equivalent enabling program offered by another Australian university.

Domestic applicants with VET / TAFE study

To be eligible for an offer, you must have:

• completed a Certificate IV or higher in a field related to health or aged care; or

Domestic applicants

If you have not successfully completed senior secondary, tertiary or TAFE/VET study, but have relevant work and life experience you can complete a personal competency statement. You may be eligible for an offer if you have sustained work experiences that demonstrate a capacity to succeed in this course.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATION

If your ability to access or participate in education has been affected by circumstances beyond your control, you can apply for special consideration as part of your application. We will consider a range of factors for special consideration, including economic hardship, a serious medical condition or disability.

We can only approve applications for special consideration where we are confident that you have the necessary skills and knowledge to succeed in your studies. If your application is not approved, the UTAS admissions team will work with you to find the best alternative pathway to your chosen course. Special consideration is not available for international applicants.
