The Professional Accounting major offers graduates in disciplines other than accounting and non-university qualified accountants, such as TAFE Diplomates with extensive accounting experience, the opportunity to meet the academic qualifications necessary for professional membership of CPA Australia and the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia.

Industry demand for work readiness expertise in the accounting profession has never been higher.
