Mid Year Enrolments Now Open!

Missed the start-of-year intake? Changed your mind about your course or career path? You’re not alone—and the good news is that mid-year university and TAFE applications are now open across Australia.

With new online and in-person courses kicking off in July, now is the perfect time to reconsider your study plans, reset your goals, and take a confident step forward.

Why Choose a Mid-Year Intake?

1. You Just Weren’t Ready at the Start of the Year

Life doesn’t always run on a semester schedule. If you finished Year 12 last year and needed a break, or if you weren’t quite sure what to study in February, mid-year intake gives you a second chance—without having to wait another full year to start your studies.

2. You’ve Changed Your Mind About Your Course

Started a degree and realised it’s not the right fit? You’re not alone. Mid-year intake is a great opportunity to transfer institutions or change your career direction. Just check whether you’re eligible to receive credit for previous study so you don’t lose progress.

3. You Missed Out in the First Round

If you didn’t get an offer in the January/February admissions cycle, mid-year entry is your second shot. With fewer applicants typically applying mid-year, you may have a stronger chance of being accepted—especially into high-demand courses that reopen places.

How to Apply for Mid-Year Entry

Each state and territory has its own admissions process for public institutions. Start by checking with your relevant tertiary admission centre and the institution directly:

• UAC (NSW & ACT)
• VTAC (Victoria)
• QTAC (Queensland)
• SATAC (South Australia & NT)
• TISC (Western Australia)
• Or apply directly to private course providers or registered training organisations listed on our provider directory.

Tip: Not all courses are offered for mid-year intake, so be sure to check with your preferred provider to confirm course availability and deadlines.

Need More Flexibility? Study Online

Many online courses now offer rolling or monthly start dates—meaning you don’t have to wait for traditional semesters. Whether you’re looking to upskill quickly, retrain for a new industry, or balance study with work and family, online learning is designed to fit your life.

Popular mid-year online study areas include:

• Health and allied services
• Early childhood and teaching
• Information technology and cybersecurity
• Business, management and leadership
• Aged care and community services

Is Mid-Year Enrolment Right for You?

Starting mid-year can be a smart move if you:

• Need time to reassess your goals or finances
• Want to avoid large first-semester class sizes
• Prefer to begin study with a smaller cohort
• Are returning to study after time in the workforce

There’s no “perfect” time to start—only the time that’s right for you.
