Support for students in Australia and New Zealand

You can register to become an ACCA student online at any time of the year.

Before you apply, please check if you are eligible for the Accelerate Program which is available for selected degrees at several universiites in Australia and New Zealand.

The Accelerate Program provides students who have yet to register with ACCA exclusive benefits, one of those being conditional exemptions. This gives you the opportunity to consider doing the ACCA Strategic Professional exams while you're still a student at university and therefore give yourself a head-start and competitive edge for entry into the industry. 

Please review the ACCA exam registration timetable to ensure you register in time for the ACCA exam sitting you wish to start taking exams at.

Holders of recognised Australian or New Zealand Bachelor degrees may be eligible for three to possibly all nine exemptions from the Fundamental Level Exams (Applied Knowledge & Applied Skills) of the ACCA Qualification**.

Use the ACCA exemption calculator to view details on the exemptions offered to degrees and universities locally and globally.

If your qualification does not appear on the exemptions enquiry database, or the exemptions listed are out of date, contact anzinfo@accaglobal.com with a scanned copy of your finalised academic transcript for review.

**There are no exemptions offered for the Strategic Professional level.

There are regular examination centres in Sydney and Melbourne, Australia and Auckland, New Zealand.

Please visit the exams section of the site for a full list of examination centres

• It is possible however to arrange paper-based exams at centres other than the regular centres. These are referred to as 'special centres'. Requests for special centres should be sent in writing, together with your exam entry form, via email to ACCA's Examinations Department Exams Operations Service at least 5 months prior to the exam sessions.
• Students in Australia currently sit ACCA exams in special examination centres in Adelaide, Brisbane, and Perth. In New Zealand students can submit a request in writing to the exams department via email to Exam.Operations@accaglobal.com by the early entry closing date to sit ACCA exams in special examination centres in Wellington, New Plymouth, Christchurch, Dunedin and Queenstown.
• ACCA will consider other centres across Australia and New Zealand too. If you would like to know if it is possible to sit ACCA exams in cities, other than those listed above, please contact us via email at Exam.Operations@accaglobal.com
