Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre

QTAC, Queensland’s trusted leader in tertiary admissions for over 40 years. QTAC provides a one-stop shop for 16 higher education providers in Queensland and Northern New South Wales, across both undergraduate and postgraduate admissions. Since 1975, we’ve been empowering our applicants to achieve their dreams of becoming doctors, engineers, graphic designers, lawyers, teachers, and more, by providing them with the information they need to reach their goals.

Whether you’re a school-leaver applying for the first time or a prospective mature-age student craving a career change, we’re here to help you on your journey to tertiary study. We have a proud track record of accurate and equitable assessment, and a reputation for service excellence amongst our applicants and institutional clients. We work diligently to meet the changing needs of our customers and to keep pace with the evolving landscape of the higher education sector, by finding innovative solutions. In 2016, we introduced continuous offers so for many courses you won’t need to wait long to find out if you have been made an offer.

Our institutions have complete control in determining their own entry requirements. We assess applications using these entry requirements and then make offers to successful applicants during our offer rounds. As well as managing applications for the above institutions, we publish course information for some institutions that accept their own applications directly.

Over the last 40 years, we have processed applications for a range of different institutions, and provided various services including a tertiary advice and counselling service, workshops and seminars. We have produced a number of publications including the QTAC Guide, the Tertiary Prerequisites booklet for Year 10 students and the Pathways to Tertiary Studies publication that became part of the Guide in 2008.

In 2017, we have 16 institutions that come through us for their applications and we showcase the courses of another 13 private institutions that process their own applications. Annually, we have approximately 60,000 applicants being considered for about 1600 courses. We look forward to a future with expanding opportunities for applicants and utilising new technologies.
