For admissions to universities, those students who have completed Australian state curricula are granted a state-specific [[Australian Tertiary Admission Rank]]. All Australian universities use the ATAR based "selection rank" as one of their methods of admission; universities also use past study, work experience and other considerations in granting admission. The ATAR provides an indication of the overall position of the student in relation to the student body for that year across the state. The ATAR is used by state-specific centralised admission centres for admission into university. The following bodies allocate ATAR based selection ranks and admission for the tertiary institutions in their respective states:<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.qtac.edu.au|title=This is my year - QTAC|website=www.qtac.edu.au|language=en|access-date=2017-08-12}}</ref> * [[Universities Admissions Centre]] (UAC) in [[New South Wales]] and the [[Australian Capital Territory]], with a separate website for [[Tasmania]]<ref>{{Cite web |last=Engagement |first=Universities Admissions Centre Marketing and |title=Applying to interstate unis |url=https://www.uac.edu.au/future-applicants/how-to-apply-for-uni/apply-to-interstate-unis |access-date=2024-02-02 |website=Universities Admissions Centre |language=en}}</ref> * [[South Australian Tertiary Admissions Centre]] (SATAC) in [[South Australia]] and the [[Northern Territory]]<ref>{{Cite web |title=SATAC's role – SATAC |url=https://www.satac.edu.au/satacs-role |access-date=2024-02-02 |website=www.satac.edu.au}}</ref> * [[Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre]] (VTAC) in [[Victoria (Australia)|Victoria]]<ref>{{Cite web |title=About us |url=https://vtac.edu.au/about |access-date=2024-02-02 |website=vtac.edu.au}}</ref> * [[Tertiary Institutions Service Centre]] (TISC) in [[Western Australia]]<ref>{{Cite web |title=TISCOnline - TISC Members and Associate Member Institutions |url=https://www.tisc.edu.au/static/guide/members.tisc |access-date=2024-02-02 |website=www.tisc.edu.au}}</ref> * [[Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre]] (QTAC) in [[Queensland]]<ref>{{Cite web |last=massamedia |date=2020-05-08 |title=About Us {{!}} QTAC |url=https://www.qtac.edu.au/about-us/ |access-date=2024-02-02 |language=en-US}}</ref>

{{anchor | ACTAC | IB }} For [[International Baccalaureate]] (IB) [[Australian nationality law|Australian students]] (Australian citizens) as well as the international students in Australia, the ''"Australasian Conference of Tertiary Admission Centres"'' (ACTAC) calculates an Australia-wide ATAR-like national rank called '''"Combined rank''' which combines results from across all states, thus enabling IB students to "apply in any Australian state or territory with confidence about how their results compare to their peers who have completed state curricula and received an ATAR", also "when completing your final year of schooling, ensure that you provide permission via your school for your IB results to be released to Australian tertiary admissions centres. As long as you identify yourself as an IB student and provide your IB candidate number when applying for courses, your IB scores and subject results will be received electronically and automatically converted for the purposes of selection and meeting prerequisites."<ref name=iboz1>[https://www.satac.edu.au/documents/ib_combined_rank_changes_fact_sheet.pdf Improving IB entry to Australian tertiary courses], IB combined rank.</ref>
