At the request of The Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia, the
Department of Accounting and Finance developed a graduate diploma which serves
as a conversion course for those without tertiary qualifications in accounting.
Students enrolling in the course are not required to be employed by a firm of
chartered accountants.
Applicants for the course must have qualified for a pass degree or an
equivalent qualification from a recognised tertiary institution. Candidates may
be eligible for a maximum of six credit exemptions for subjects considered to
be equivalent to particular requirements in the course of study. Refer to the
course director for further details.

reviewed annually and are therefore subject to change.
