What else you need
Only degrees approved under the Corporations (Relevant Providers Degrees, Qualifications and Courses Standard) Determination 2021 count, so check the specific course is on the approved list. You also need the professional year, the exam and registration as a relevant provider; the degree alone does not confer registration. This catalogue groups awards: verify the chosen provider, programme and intake; the family-level link is not confirmation that every offering is approved.
Median pay$134,300
Pay is the median for everyone in the job, and “In demand” means the job is on the national shortage list.
