How can I get my Overseas Qualifications Assessed?

The Curriculum Council can assess and provide an equivalence statement for secondary school level qualifications. The statement relates an overseas certificate/academic year to a year level in the Western Australian school system: it does not give a grade-for-grade comparison. To obtain an equivalence statement you need to:

• complete an application form (see below),
• provide original certificates/academic records and English translations,
• provide change of name documentation if applicable,
• pay $25.

Please do not send original documents by post: if you have to post your application, send copies of your documents that have been certified as true copies by a commissioner of declarations or justice of the peace. The Curriculum Council cannot assess

• incomplete academic years,
• certificates/qualifications awarded by private organisations not within the country's education system,
• trade qualifications,
• post-secondary qualifications.
