Special Admissions Tests

A provider that conducts a special admissions test for judging the suitability of a person seeking admission into a specialist course may charge a fee for this test. 

A special admissions test would be over and above normal admissions services such as enrolling on the basis of an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR), for which a provider must not charge a fee, for example:

  • Specialist auditions and interviews such as those conducted by performing arts institutions/faculties,
  • Where special expertise is required to conduct interviews and make recommendations on the suitability of applicants for admission.
