I’m eager to relocate to Australia to pursue my Chartered Accounting studies. I’ve already finished my Accounting degree in South Africa and am looking to continue my postgraduate education in Australia, with the goal of becoming a Chartered Accountant. I’m curious about the salary prospects for Chartered Accountants in Australia and would appreciate recommendations for universities that offer programs allowing me to complete my three years of articles after my postgraduate studies.

One thought on “I want to move to Australia and complete my Chartered Accounting studies”

  1. That sounds like an exciting opportunity! Australia is a great place to pursue your Chartered Accounting studies, and the career prospects for Chartered Accountants (CAs) are generally positive.

    1. Salary Expectations: Chartered Accountants in Australia can earn a competitive salary, depending on their level of experience, the industry they work in, and their location. As of recent data, entry-level positions for CAs typically start around AUD 60,000 to AUD 75,000 per year, and this can increase significantly with experience, specializations, and if you’re in high-demand sectors like financial services or consulting.

    2. Universities and Postgraduate Programs:

    3. University of Melbourne: Offers a Master of Management (Accounting) program that can be beneficial for CA pathways.
    4. University of Sydney: Their Master of Accounting program is highly regarded and offers pathways to internship and practical experience.
    5. Monash University: Known for its strong accounting programs and links to the industry, offering a Master of Professional Accounting.
    6. University of Queensland: Offers a Master of Commerce with a focus on accounting which can help you in your CA journey.

    Check if these programs include pathways for practical experience or ‘articles’ as this is crucial for your CA qualification. You may also want to connect with professional accounting bodies in Australia, such as CPA Australia or CA ANZ, to get specific advice on the process and their recognition of your prior qualifications.

    Make sure you thoroughly research each program, their accreditation, and potential connections with firms for your articles. Good luck with your studies and future career in Australia!
