Accounting Professional Year Program Is Closed to New Applications
The Accounting Professional Year Program Is Closed to New Applications. Accounting graduates should not plan their migration strategy around a new Accounting PY enrolment.
If you studied accounting in Australia, the next step is to review your skills assessment options, points position, English score, state nomination strategy, graduate visa position and alternative career pathway planning.

Accounting Professional Year Program Closure
The Accounting Professional Year Program has been discontinued for new enrolments. This means new applicants cannot rely on Accounting PY as a fresh pathway to gain Professional Year completion points.
Students who were previously considering Accounting PY should review their full skilled migration strategy before making decisions about course changes, English testing, skills assessment, employment evidence or state nomination.
What Accounting Graduates Should Do Next
Check Your Accounting Skills Assessment Pathway
Accounting graduates may need to review skills assessment options with CPA Australia, Chartered Accountants ANZ or IPA depending on their nominated occupation, qualifications, study history and visa strategy.
Review Your Skilled Migration Points
Because new Accounting PY enrolment is no longer available, applicants should review other points factors including English, age, Australian study, regional study, partner points, state nomination and skilled employment evidence.
Consider Alternative Career and Visa Pathways
Depending on your background, options may include accounting skills assessment, employer-sponsored pathways, state nomination, regional options, further study strategy or occupation reassessment.
Why You Need a Strategy Review
A closed Professional Year pathway can change your points plan. A decision that looked viable before the closure may no longer be competitive without a stronger English score, better nomination strategy, skilled employment evidence or revised occupation planning.
How Think Higher Consultants Can Help
Think Higher Consultants can review your qualification, current visa, skills assessment direction, English score, employment evidence and migration pathway options to help you make a realistic plan after the Accounting Professional Year closure.
