### Key application dates

### UPCOMING INTAKES AND KEY DATES

- There are currently no scheduled dates or intakes for this course.

Domestic students are encouraged to apply as early as possible to avoid application processing delays. We cannot guarantee outcomes in time to commence the next available intake if you apply outside the timely application period.

Please apply for the intake you are ready to commence studying. Due to the limited number of Commonwealth Supported Places (CSPs) available, we do not permit deferral.

There are a limited number of Commonwealth Supported Places (CSPs) for this course. To ensure you are considered for a CSP, submit your complete application prior to the application deadline.
