The Chartered Accountants Program is your move towards becoming a recognised and in-demand accounting professional.


There’s no question that your university degree is a vital first step after school. It’ll give you the grounding you need to start to shape your skills for your chosen career.

But academic experience may not be enough. Many employers look for graduates who bring with them academic skills and practical experience.

The Chartered Accountants Program combines innovative postgraduate education with mentored work experience. So, graduates are better-educated accountants with superior problem-solving and real world business ability.

On completion, you earn a Graduate Diploma of Chartered Accounting (GradDipCA). This qualification can be used to gain exemptions in over 60 Masters degrees offered by universities around Australia.

In fact, the Chartered Accountants Program is the only postgraduate accounting designation that confers a recognised Postgraduate Diploma qualification.

There are two sides to the program: the academic modules, and the mentored work experience.
