Do you need a degree to be a police officer?
degree rules, pathways and HELP debt by force

Some forces need no qualifications at all; NSW trains its recruits through a university degree. Here's what each force requires, what qualification you finish with, and what a HELP debt costs you on a police salary.

Updated 9 October 2026 17 min read Sources checked 9 October 2026 Independent, not advice

The short answer

No. No Australian police force requires a degree to apply. NSW is the only force whose recruit training is itself a university course: the Associate Degree in Applied Policing with Western Sydney University, which needs an ATAR of 50 or equivalent and carries student fees. Other forces award a Diploma of Policing, and several let degree holders skip the entrance exam.

Do you need a degree to become a police officer?

No force requires one. NSW builds one into training.

You don't need a university degree to join any Australian police force. The minimum education ranges from none at all (Victoria and WA) to an ATAR of 50 or equivalent (NSW). Most forces then give you a recognised qualification through recruit training, usually the Diploma of Policing.

POL50124 Diploma of Policing

NSW is the exception people ask about. Its recruits study the Associate Degree in Applied Policing (ADAP) with Western Sydney University, which is an AQF Level 6 qualification. You don't need a degree to start it: you need an ATAR of 50 or an equivalent, and you're accepted onto it after passing NSW Police's selection process.

What this page covers

We set out each force's education rule and qualification, explain NSW's degree and fees (including a conflict between two published fee figures), and show what a HELP debt costs on a police salary using 2026-27 repayment rates.

Tasmania's arrangement with the University of Tasmania has run since 2010. University course names in this area change often; we've used the force's current wording.

NSW: the Associate Degree in Applied Policing

Since January 2026, NSW recruits have trained through the ADAP with Western Sydney University (WSU). The first class under WSU, Class 369, attested at Goulburn in September 2026. You apply to NSW Police first, pass its professional suitability assessment, then apply to WSU.

  1. 1

    Session 1: online study (16 weeks)

    Unpaid, studied from home.

  2. 2

    Session 2: the Academy (16 weeks)

    Full time and residential at Goulburn, employed as temporary administrative staff on $1,360 a week plus super, with free accommodation and meals.

  3. 3

    Attestation

    You're sworn in as a Probationary Constable.

  4. 4

    Probation and online sessions (12 months)

    Operational placement as a Probationary Constable, plus 3 part-time online sessions.

The degree is open to domestic students only, with an ATAR of at least 50 or an equivalent such as a Certificate III or higher, a degree or a bridging course. WSU lists the next starts as 26 October 2026, 1 March 2027, 3 May 2027 and 23 August 2027. See our NSW joining guide for the selection stages.

The first WSU cohort, Class 369, was 353 probationary constables, according to the university. One practical change from the old Charles Sturt course is how it's funded: the ADAP is a Commonwealth Supported Place with a student contribution, while the old course was reported in 2023 to cost $21,132 in total under FEE-HELP. Either way, you're studying for a real university qualification, and the credit can count towards further study later.

NSW ADAP fees: two figures that don't match

This is where NSW applicants get confused, and with reason. Two official sources give different fee figures for the same course.

Published ADAP fee figures

NSW Police Force recruiting (salary and benefits)

Figure
About $9,112 a year
What it says
Commonwealth-supported student contribution; HECS-HELP available to citizens

Western Sydney University course page (read 9 October 2026)

Figure
From $11,885 a year
What it says
Indicative annual fee for a Commonwealth Supported Place; may change with unit mix and annual adjustments; excludes the student services and amenities fee

Which figure should you believe?

The WSU figure is $2,773 a year higher and is the university's own, so plan on it. The NSW Police figure may be older. The "from" wording means your actual fee depends on the units you take. Confirm the current amount with WSU before you accept an offer.

The ADAP runs over two years full time. If it were charged as two full-time years, that would be roughly $18,224 at the lower figure or $23,770 at the higher one. That's our rough calculation, not a quote. Eligible students can defer the whole amount through HECS-HELP and repay it through the tax system once they earn enough.

Budget on the university's figure, not the lower one, and ask WSU for the student contribution for your actual units.

NSW: UPPAP, HECS eligibility and the old ADPP

If you don't have an ATAR of 50 or equivalent, NSW has a free way in. The Undergraduate Preparation Program in Applied Policing (UPPAP) is a fee-free enabling course; finishing it while keeping your professional suitability guarantees a place on the ADAP.

HECS-HELP eligibility for the ADAP (WSU)

  • ✓ Australian citizens: can defer fees through HECS-HELP.
  • ✓ Permanent humanitarian visa holders: can defer through HECS-HELP.
  • ✓ NZ Special Category Visa holders: now have access, according to WSU.
  • ✓ Other permanent residents: must pay upfront by the census date.

The previous arrangement, the Associate Degree in Policing Practice with Charles Sturt University, has closed to new intakes. Search summaries of NSW Police's page say the final intake took applications until 20 August 2025. A 2023 report in The Mandarin put the old course at $21,132 in total under FEE-HELP. NSW also pays a small qualification allowance: $792 a year for a relevant degree, or $398 for a Diploma in Criminology, to constables and senior constables, ending on first merit promotion.

Victoria and Queensland: diplomas, exemptions and HECS help

Victoria Police

Victoria has no minimum education requirement. Recruits earn the POL50124 Diploma of Policing from Victoria Police's own training organisation. There's also an optional university route: Monash University's Bachelor of Criminology and Policing, where students apply to the force in second year and spend third year at the Glen Waverley Academy, paid as a recruit, while finishing Monash units online.

Degree holders are among those who can skip Victoria's entrance exam. Our data file records the exam this way: "Must pass all four parts. 3 months to sit (the PSO process lists a 2-month window). Exemptions are possible for degree holders, ATAR 65+ with English 25+, ADF members, paramedics and firefighters, VPS Grade 3+, final-year criminology students and others. The same exam is used for PSOs." A 2025 AAP report says the degree exemption applies to bachelor degrees from the last five years in fields such as arts, science, humanities, business or law.

Queensland Police Service

Queensland doesn't require a degree, and QPS issues a Diploma of Policing through its own training organisation. In 2023 the government offered up to $20,000 of HECS paid for up to 400 recruits with relevant degrees, such as criminology, social work or counselling, paid on graduating from the Academy; an April 2024 ministerial statement repeated it and said degree holders may also be exempt from the entrance assessment. We couldn't confirm whether the HECS offer is still open, so ask QPS Recruiting.

WA, SA, Tasmania, the NT and the AFP

WA Police Force

WA requires no formal qualifications. After 28 weeks at the Academy, 18 months' probation and permanent appointment as a constable, officers can apply for a Diploma of Policing delivered with North Metropolitan TAFE, which WA says gives credit towards some courses and direct university entry.

South Australia Police

SA says Year 12 is highly desirable but not mandatory, and recruits receive a Diploma of Policing at the end of the Constable Development Program. Graduates can skip the entrance test: "Exemptions: a bachelor degree (Australia/NZ/UK), an Australian diploma (AQF5+), SACE with ATAR 65+, an IB diploma, a previous pass, another Australian/NZ police entrance exam, or 6+ months' experience in police, emergency services, the ADF or the SA public sector at ASO4+."

Tasmania Police

Tasmania's education rule depends on when you left school (Year 12 or a Certificate III after 2020; Year 10 with C passes in Maths and English before then). The recruit course is linked to the University of Tasmania: Recruits complete 15 of the 24 units of the UTAS Bachelor of Social Science (Police Studies). The force's recruitment pages don't say who pays the university fees, so ask Tasmania Police Recruiting.

NT Police and the AFP

The NT accepts Year 12, a trade certificate or considerable work experience, and graduates receive the POL50124 Diploma of Policing. The AFP needs Year 10; police recruits can receive the same diploma at the AFP College. A Charles Sturt University agreement from 2007 gives AFP members credit for College study, including towards the Bachelor of Policing (Investigations) for officers with five or more years' service.

What recruit training costs you in each force

Because NSW's training is a university course, NSW recruits face two costs other recruits don't: an unpaid first session and a student contribution. Every other force pays you from the first day of the academy and publishes no tuition fees for recruit training.

Training pay figures are from each force's data file; Queensland's is calculated by us from the agreement. Tasmania's recruitment pages don't say who pays for the University of Tasmania units recruits complete.

Once you're sworn in, a HELP debt shows up in your fortnightly pay. A NSW first-year constable on $92,576 would take home about $2,786 a fortnight with no HELP debt, or about $2,653 with one: a difference of about $133 a fortnight, by our calculation with 2026-27 tax rates and no allowances or overtime.

That's real money in your first year, but it's temporary, it doesn't accrue interest, and the debt is wiped once it's repaid. NSW's first-year pay with loading is also among the highest of any force, which offsets the cost. Compare the full picture in our NSW police salary guide and the national pay comparison.

Does a degree help a police career?

A degree won't get you a higher starting salary in any force: recruits start on the same rate whatever their qualifications. It can help in other ways, and it can cost you in others.

Works in your favour

  • ✓Entrance exam exemptions in Victoria and SA (and possibly Queensland)
  • ✓NSW pays $792 a year for a relevant degree to constables and senior constables
  • ✓Queensland's HECS offer for relevant degrees (status to confirm)
  • ✓Useful for specialist, intelligence and leadership roles later
  • ✓A career outside policing if you leave

Watch out for

  • ✕No higher starting pay in any force
  • ✕Three years of study is three years of police pay forgone
  • ✕A HELP debt reduces take-home pay once you earn over the threshold
  • ✕Recruit training gives you a policing qualification anyway

If your goal is detective work or a specialist unit, the qualifications that matter most are the ones forces deliver themselves, such as the Advanced Diploma of Police Investigation. See our detective career guide.

HELP repayments on police pay

If you have a HELP debt from any course, compulsory repayments come out of your pay once your repayment income passes $69,528. From 2026-27 the system is marginal: you repay 15% of income above the threshold up to $129,717, then $9,028 plus 17% above that, and above $186,050 a flat 10% of total repayment income.

Calculated by us with the 2026-27 marginal repayment rates, on salary alone. Repayment income can also include reportable super, fringe benefits and net investment losses, and shift allowances and overtime add to it. NSW figures include the 11.5% loading paid as salary.

The base figures understate most officers' real repayments, because shift allowances, overtime and loadings count as income. In Queensland, for example, the 21% Operational Shift Allowance is paid on top of the base shown. Use our calculator with the HELP option ticked to see your own fortnightly figure.

Worked example: paying off the NSW ADAP

Say you graduate from the ADAP with a HECS-HELP debt for two years of student contributions, and you're a first-year constable on $92,576 including loading. Your compulsory repayment would be about $3,457 a year, or about $133 a fortnight, by our calculation.

Ignores indexation, pay rises, allowances, overtime and voluntary repayments. Debt amounts are rough two-year estimates, not quotes.

In practice you'd likely repay faster, because pay rises steeply through the constable increments and most officers earn allowances and overtime. Indexation works the other way, adding to the balance each June. The point is that the debt is manageable on police pay: a few years of compulsory repayments, not decades.

Indexation and the 20% debt cut

HELP debts don't charge interest, but they're indexed each 1 June. Since a 2023 change, the rate is the lower of the Consumer Price Index and the Wage Price Index.

Should you study first or join now?

For most people who know they want to be police officers, joining now makes more sense than studying first. Recruit training gives you a policing qualification, and you're paid while you train in every force except during NSW's online session.

Study first if…

  • ✓ You want a degree for its own sake or a fallback career.
  • ✓ You'd struggle with the entrance exam and a degree would exempt you (Victoria, SA).
  • ✓ You're in Queensland and a relevant degree might attract its HECS offer (check it's still open).
  • ✓ You're too young to start training and have time to fill.
  • ✓ You're aiming for intelligence, cyber or forensic roles where a degree is valued.

Join now if…

  • ✓ Policing is the career you want, and you meet your force's education rule.
  • ✓ You'd rather earn while you train: every force pays recruits at the academy (NSW from its second session).
  • ✓ You can pass the entrance exam without a degree exemption, or you're applying to a force with no exam exemption advantage.
  • ✓ You'd like your employer to deliver your qualification: most forces award a Diploma of Policing during training.

Whichever you choose, check the other eligibility requirements and the entrance exam guide. If you're coming from another job, our career change guide compares training pay with your current salary.

Frequently asked questions

Do you need a degree to be a police officer in Australia?

No. No force requires a degree to apply. Victoria and WA have no minimum education at all, the AFP asks for Year 10, and SA says Year 12 is desirable but not mandatory. NSW needs an ATAR of 50 or equivalent because its recruit training is a university associate degree, but you study for that after you're accepted, not before.

Do NSW police recruits have to pay for their degree?

Yes. NSW recruits study the Associate Degree in Applied Policing with Western Sydney University as Commonwealth-supported students and pay a student contribution, which eligible students can defer through HECS-HELP. NSW Police information puts it at about $9,112 a year; the university's course page says "from $11,885" a year. Check the current figure with WSU before you enrol.

Can you get HECS-HELP for the NSW police degree?

Australian citizens and permanent humanitarian visa holders can defer fees through HECS-HELP, and Western Sydney University says NZ Special Category Visa holders now have access too. Other permanent residents must pay upfront by the census date. Ask WSU to confirm your eligibility before you accept an offer.

Does having a degree help you get into the police?

It can. Victoria and SA exempt many degree holders from their entrance exams, and Queensland says degree holders may be exempt from its entrance assessment. Queensland also announced up to $20,000 off HECS for up to 400 recruits with relevant degrees. NSW pays a small qualification allowance for a relevant degree to constables and senior constables.

What qualification do you get from the police academy?

In most forces, the POL50124 Diploma of Policing: Victoria, the NT and the AFP all name it, SA awards a Diploma of Policing after its Constable Development Program, and WA's comes with North Metropolitan TAFE after probation. NSW recruits finish with an Associate Degree in Applied Policing, and Tasmanian recruits complete 15 of the 24 units of a University of Tasmania Bachelor of Social Science (Police Studies).

How much HELP will I repay on a police salary?

Under the 2026-27 marginal system, you repay 15% of repayment income above $69,528, rising to 17% above $129,717. A NSW first-year constable on $92,576 (including the 11.5% loading) would repay about $3,457 a year, by our calculation. Repayment income can include more than salary, so check the ATO's definition.

Should I do a criminology degree before joining the police?

Only if you want the degree for its own sake or for a later career. No force requires one, and recruit training gives you the policing qualification you need. A degree can exempt you from entrance exams in Victoria and SA, and may count for Queensland's HECS offer, but three years of study also means three years of police pay forgone.

Is the Charles Sturt University police degree still available for NSW?

No. NSW Police's former Associate Degree in Policing Practice with Charles Sturt University has closed to new intakes; search summaries of NSW Police's page say its final intake took applications until 20 August 2025. NSW recruits now study the Associate Degree in Applied Policing with Western Sydney University.
