Who should apply through TISC?
Auditions and Portfolios

You can only apply through TISC if you're an Australian or New Zealand citizen, or you've been approved or granted Australian permanent resident status.

If you're applying for permanent residence, you aren't eligible to apply through TISC until your permanent residence status has been approved or granted. Contact the respective universities for advice. If you are applying for Assured Pathways to Medicine or Dentistry at The University of Western Australia or Medicine at Curtin University for 2024 entry you must have been granted permanent residency in Australia by 30 September 2023.

NOTE: If you have a subclass 457 visa, you aren't eligible to apply through TISC. You must apply directly to the relevant university(ies) as an international student.

You must provide correct details of your current residency status when you apply. If an offer is made to you, and university checks find that you've provided incorrect residency status information, the university concerned will withdraw your offer in accordance with its policies and procedures.

If you are eligible to apply for university through TISC, that does not mean you must apply through TISC. The current rulings are:

• Curtin University: WA Year 12 students must apply through TISC.
• Edith Cowan University: WA Year 12 students must apply through TISC, unless you are applying for courses at the WA Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA), or for Summer UniPrep or UniPrep Accelerate.
• Murdoch University: WA Year 12 students must apply through TISC.
• The University of Notre Dame Australia: WA Year 12 students can apply directly to Notre Dame or through TISC. You can list Notre Dame preferences on your TISC application if you also have a direct application. Applications for Notre Dame's Young Achievers' Early Offer Program should be made directly with Notre Dame. If you apply through TISC with Notre Dame as your first preference, Notre Dame will be in touch.
