Frequently asked questions

Is 56.35 the ATAR my child needs for Bachelor of Social Work at FedUni?

Not exactly. 56.35 was the lowest selection rank that received an offer for the 2026 intake. A selection rank is the ATAR plus any adjustment factors (for example subject, equity or regional adjustments), so some students were offered a place with a raw ATAR below 56.35. It is a guide to competition for that intake, not a guaranteed entry score, and it changes each year.
