About Us

Australis Business School is a TEQSA-registered Institute of Higher Education and CRICOS provider based in Coburg, Melbourne.

We offer a focused suite of higher education courses across business, accounting, research and early childhood teacher education. Australis is approved to deliver the Bachelor of Business (Accounting), Graduate Diploma of Early Childhood Education, Master of Business Administration, Master of Business Research, and Master of Teaching (Early Childhood Education).

With a relatively small student cohort, we are able to maintain close contact with students and provide responsive support throughout their studies. Staff work closely across academic and administrative functions, which gives students clear points of contact and allows issues to be followed up promptly.

For someone joining our team, this means working in an environment where you get to know the students, understand how different parts of the institute operate, and contribute across the full student experience rather than being limited to one narrow administrative function.
