ATAR release dates vary by jurisdiction and examining board, but for many Australian states the ATAR is released in mid to late December of the final year of secondary schooling, typically around December 18 to December 20 in NSW/ACT and similar windows in other states. If you’re asking about a specific state or year, please specify which system (e.g., NSW HSC, NSW/ACT UAC, Queensland QTAC, Victoria VCE, etc.) and the exact intake year, and I can give you the precise date for that context. What to do next
- Check the official results or admissions website for your state (e.g., NSW/ACT UAC, QTAC Queensland, VCAA Victoria, SA-AP, etc.) for the announced ATAR release date for your cohort.
- If you have a particular program or university in mind, confirm their admission cycle and any early-release options, as some universities publish provisional offers around or shortly after ATAR release.
