Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC)

[EduCativ]

The Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC) is the central office that administers the application processes for tertiary courses, scholarships, and the Special Entry Access Scheme at universities, TAFEs, and independent tertiary colleges in Victoria (and a few outside Victoria). VTAC receives and forwards application information and supporting documentation to the relevant authorities at institutions.

VTAC is not a selection authority; it does not determine the selection criteria used by institutions and does not decide who will receive an offer. The course selection authorities make all decisions about which applicants are offered a place at institutions. After the course authorities have made selection decisions at institutions, VTAC sends offer messages to successful applicants on the institutions’ behalf. VTAC also:

• Calculates and issues the ATAR for VCE students.
• Coordinates sittings for the Special Tertiary Admissions Test (STAT) and Australian Law Schools Entrance Test (ALSET).
• Provides telephone and online information and inquiry services for applicants.
• Publishes a range of guides to tertiary study.
• Provides timely information to assist applicants via its social media networks, blogs, Facebook, and Twitter.
• Conducts information sessions for secondary school students and their parents, career practitioners, and adults returning to study.
