Over the past week, we have received a high volume of queries from agents regarding deferral options for students holding teaching‑related offers. To ensure consistent guidance, we are issuing the following clarification.
Conditional offer holders
Students with conditional offers are not eligible to defer. If they wish to be considered for a future intake, they must submit a new application.
Formal offer holders
Students with formal (unconditional) offers may request a deferral, but only up to the published deferral deadline of 29 May 2026. Requests received after this date cannot be accommodated.
If students choose to defer, please note the following:
Students will not need to repeat their interview or numeracy and literacy tests, but updated police clearance will be required closer to the new intake.
Deferral requests depend on learning area availability for 2027.
Revised offers will reflect any 2027 fee changes and updated entry requirements.
Students who have already deferred their offer from Trimester H (January) 2026 to Trimester B (July) 2026 are not eligible for a further deferral to Trimester H 2027. If they wish to be considered for that intake, they will need to submit a new application.
We appreciate your support in ensuring students receive accurate and consistent information.
