Nursing at Deakin University: ATAR needed
Geelong Waterfront Campus · December 2025 offer roundIn the December 2025 offer round the lowest selection rank to receive an offer for Nursing at Deakin University (Geelong Waterfront Campus) was 60.65 — down 1.20 from 61.85 in 2024.

What it takes to reach 60.65Using VTAC's official aggregate to ATAR table.
You need an aggregate of about 108 (out of a possible 210): your best English plus three other scaled study scores, plus 10% of your fifth and sixth. If your scaled scores were all about equal, that is roughly 25.7 in each study.
Scaled scores depend on the study: see how each VCE subject scales, and use the calculator to estimate yours from SAC and exam marks.
