2012 Australian Year 12 Conversion Table
The following table is published as a guide for intending interstate applicants. Shown in the first two columns of the table are the 2012 methods of reporting student achievements based on 2012 data.
The last column shows the approximate points of comparison of QTAC selection ranks with Year 12 results. These are intended as an approximation only.
For admission to tertiary courses in 2013, all States/Territories of Australia produce overall measures of their students' 2012 achievements in a common index that allow for comparisons to be made across States/Territories and across time. This overall measure is known as the Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank (ATAR) in all States/Territories other than Queensland.
Queensland provides, to the appropriate authorities, individual ranks calculated according to the ATAR for Queensland students formally applying for tertiary admission interstate. However, within the State, students' achievements are reported as Overall Positions, with Field Positions and other criteria used, if necessary, for finer rankings.

Applying Interstate
Australian tertiary institutions welcome applications from interstate applicants. Please note, Queensland Year 12 students who are OP ineligible may not be considered for tertiary entry interstate and should contact the relevant interstate institution for information.
Websites for Australian universities and other higher education providers can be reached through Australian Government's MyUniversity website www.myuniversity.gov.au. Alternatively, listed below are the contact details for interstate admissions centres. Contact them for information on the institutions that they service, application and course information, and application dates and fees.
Most interstate admissions centres have a publication similar to the QTAC Guide. Many newsagents in city centres carry interstate admissions guides and a limited number of these are available for purchase at the QTAC office.
