Results are listed alphabetically. There is no price ranking: prices in different currencies and bases (per class, per term, per year) are not comparable. Children’s and teen classes appear only when you choose a youth audience or open Children & Teens. Online programs are never counted as physically located in a state or city. Items marked Sponsored are paid placements; they never change recognition status, verification or order.
In the programs researched, full-time acting training is offered as three-year university bachelor degrees (for example at NIDA, WAAPA/ECU, VCA/University of Melbourne, QUT and the Western Sydney University degree taught with Actors Centre Australia), alongside independent studios such as 16th Street that run a 30-week non-degree conservatory-style course. Entry to the degrees is by audition, usually submitted online first and followed by a recall.
Names and levels are local to Australia. Similar names in other countries are not interchangeable.
Teaching languages. Programs researched are taught in English.
Admissions and auditions. Published processes combine an application (through the provider or a state admissions centre such as QTAC or VTAC) with an audition; typical elements are two contrasting monologues, a video submission for the first round and an in-person or online recall for shortlisted applicants (see NIDA, QUT and University of Melbourne entries).
