Australian Education System

The Australian education system provides primary, secondary and tertiary education.

School Education (Primary and Secondary)

School education is similar across all of Australia with only minor variations between states and territories. School education (primary and secondary) is compulsory between the ages of six and sixteen (Year 1 to Year 9 or 10).

Primary School

Runs for seven or eight years, starting at Kindergarten/Preparatory through to Year 6 or 7.

Secondary School

Runs for three or four years, from Years 7 to 10 or 8 to 10.

Senior Secondary

Runs for two years, Years 11 and 12.

Tertiary Education

Tertiary education includes both higher education (including universities) and vocational education and training (VET).

Language of Instruction

English is the official language of Australia and the main language of instruction in the education system. Many schools offer bilingual programs or programs in other languages.

Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF)

The Australian education system is distinguished by the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF). The AQF was established in 1995 and links school, vocational and university education qualifications into one national system.

The AQF has 10 levels and allows you to move easily from one level of study to the next, and from one institution to another, provided you satisfy student visa requirements.
