Adjustment Factors

Avondale understands that some factors may have hindered your ATAR result. In certain circumstances, we use adjustment factors, which are additional points (formally referred to as bonus points) added to your ATAR to derive your selection rank for entry into your chosen course. The circumstances are:

  • Location/school
  • Disadvantage
  • Elite level sporting commitments
  • Indigenous applicants

You will receive five adjustment points, up to 10 points, where any of these factors apply to you.
