Supplying results from Australia or New Zealand

Do I need to supply documentation of results and qualifications?

VTAC can access most Australian and some New Zealand results. If yours can’t be accessed, you will be contacted by VTAC and asked to supply documentation.

Evidence NOT required by VTAC

VTAC has direct access to the following results and qualifications. Do not send in evidence of the following unless you are specifically asked to do so.

Australian qualifications/results

You are not required to submit evidence of any of the following:

VCE/VCE VM/VCAL results statement
Standard Australian interstate Year 12 results
Australian university results
ATAR statement
STAT results statement
TAFE results for certificate IV, diploma, advanced diploma and associate degree studies undertaken at:
- RMIT University
- Swinburne University of Technology
- Victoria University

New Zealand qualifications/results

You are not required to submit evidence of NCEA studies with results issued from 2007 onwards, but you must include your National Student Number (NSN) in your VTAC course application.

For NCEA results issued before 2007 and/or CIE results, see Evidence and documentation required by VTAC below.

International Baccalaureate (IB) qualifications/results

You are not required to submit evidence of IB studies with results issued from 2005 onwards, but you must include your IB student number in your VTAC course application. You must also authorise the release of your results to VTAC by the International Baccalaureate organisation through your school.

Amended results

If your results are amended after the official results release date, you must supply a legible copy of the amended results to VTAC if you want the amended results to be considered with your VTAC application.

If VTAC can't get your results

If VTAC can't access your results online, you will be advised of this while you are completing the 'Secondary' and 'Post-secondary' sections of the VTAC course application, and via email from VTAC. In these cases, you will be required to supply evidence of your qualifications/results to VTAC.

Qualifications/results

In some cases you need to supply evidence of your qualifications or results. If evidence is required, you must provide certified copies of the official transcript of results and certificate of completion printed by the institution. Results printed from the web are not official transcripts and do not provide sufficient evidence.

If you claim any of the following on your VTAC application, you must provide evidence for each qualification:

TAFE/VET studies other than those listed above
IB studies with results issued before 2005 (you must also include your IB student number on your VTAC course application)
New Zealand NCEA studies with results issued before 2007 (you must also include National Student Number on your VTAC course application)
New Zealand CIE studies with results issued before 2014 (you must also include your candidate number on your VTAC course application)

info

You will need to supply evidence for overseas studies other than those from New Zealand mention above. See Overseas qualifications.

If asked, what must I supply?

What you must supply depends upon which institution issued the qualification and/or results. If the institution and issuing dates are in the table below, there are specific restrictions to what you can submit.

Restricted documentation: issuing institutions and relevant dates

If documentation of your results is not available

If results are not available, you must supply a Statutory Declaration detailing the information and/or document that is missing and explaining why they are not available. You must be able to demonstrate that you have exhausted all possible avenues to obtaining your results for a Statutory Declaration to be accepted.

Deadline for supplying documents

To guarantee consideration for your first eligible offer date, documents must be uploaded by the deadline as specified on the VTAC Dates page. VTAC will continue to process documentation beyond this date for subsequent offer rounds but there is no guarantee that late documents will be considered by institutions.

What happens to my documents?

VTAC will make all accepted documents available to the institutions to which you have applied. Rejected documents are not part of your course application and will not be passed on to institutions. Any supplied documents will be securely destroyed at the end of the application period.
