How to apply

1. Review entry requirements and eligibility

  • Check the entry requirements tab of this course page and ensure you meet the admission criteria.
  • Review the English language requirements.
  • If you are applying for multiple courses, ensure you have confirmed your preference order.

2. Gather your supporting documentation

As part of your application, you’ll be required to submit:

  • Evidence of current National Division 1 registration
  • Evidence at least one year of professional experience in a clinical setting, such as a reference letter from a current employer to confirm this, or an HR statement that shows hours completed. Please note that a curriculum vitae (CV) is not considered sufficient.

3. Submit your application

Additional application considerations:

Where a course offers both Commonwealth Supported Places (CSPs) and Australian full fee (AF) places, you only need to submit an application for one fee type. You will automatically be considered for a CSP if you are eligible.
