TASC can assess some completed overseas university and senior secondary qualifications. We compare them to the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) or Tasmanian Certificate of Education (TCE).
To be eligible, it must be a qualification type we can assess, and you must:
- be an Australian citizen OR hold a valid Australian visa
- live in Tasmania.
TASC cannot assess equivalency for:
- trade qualifications
- Australian qualifications
- qualifications of less than one year full-time study
- single subjects
- incomplete qualifications
- work experience
- membership of, or registration with, a professional body or industry association
- industry or professional licences, tickets or cards
- qualifications where professional licensing or registration requirements require assessment of overseas qualifications by an industry specific body (see ASRI for details of registration and licensing requirements). For example, doctors (all specialisations), allied health professionals, teachers, lawyers
- qualifications for the purpose of university entry
- English language skills.
See the list of assessing authorities managed by the Australian Government Department of Education for which authority to contact to assess your specific qualification.
If you are eligible for assessment by TASC:
Submit your application to TASC using the Overseas qualification comparison assessment form. All documents to support a request for a statement of comparison of an overseas qualification must be certified as true copies by an authorised person and, where required, translated into English.
From 1 July 2023, TASC charges a fee for assessing overseas qualifications. The current fee is $56.10. You can pay this online as part of the application form.
TASC will contact you to schedule an interview or request more information if required. The assessment process may take up to 30 days after all required documentation is supplied.
