It is not designed to provide qualified optometrists with a masters level qualification.


If you already have an optometry qualification and are seeking to practice as an optometrist in Australia, you should contact the Optometry Council of Australia and New Zealand regarding the assessment process for overseas trained optometrists wishing to practice optometry in Australia. If you wish to obtain an Australian optometry qualification then you will need to apply for theOP45 Bachelor of Vision Science/OP85 Master of Optometry dual degree award.  Your previous overseas studies in optometry may be considered for advanced standing towards the five-year program.


Your application for OP45/OP85 must include:

  • Details of your Optometry/Vision Science undergraduate degree including course overview and unit outlines. 
  • Details of any assessment regarding your qualifications you may have received from the Optometry Council of Australia and New Zealand.
