The Australian College of Applied Professions (ACAP) is a private higher education institution. Established in 1983, it specializes in psychology, counseling, social work, and related fields. Unlike public universities, which receive government funding, ACAP operates as an independent entity, relying on tuition fees and private investments.
ACAP is accredited by the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA), ensuring its programs meet national standards. While it offers degree programs similar to public universities, its private status allows for specialized curricula and flexible learning options, including online and blended courses.
