The Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre (QTAC) is a non-profit organisation that provides undergraduate and postgraduate tertiary entry and application services for 17 major universities and tertiary education institutions in Queensland and northern New South Wales.^[4] QTAC is funded entirely by student application fees.

Starting for the 2020 cohort, QTAC is also responsible for calculating Queensland students' Australian Tertiary Admission Ranks for high-school graduates.^[5] This change accompanies a complete overhaul of the senior schooling system from the Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority, bringing Queensland in-line with the rest of Australia's high-school and university entry systems.^[6]
