What ATAR do I need for Psychology in Western Australia?

There's no single number. In Semester 1, 2026 the lowest selection rank that received a Psychology offer at a WA university ranged from 70.00 (Curtin) to 86.40 (Notre Dame). A selection rank is your ATAR plus any adjustments, so students whose ATAR is below these figures can still receive offers once those adjustments are applied.

Is the Psychology cutoff a minimum ATAR?

No. The published figure is the lowest selection rank — your ATAR plus any adjustments — that received an offer last year, not a minimum ATAR you must reach. TISC also publishes a separate "minimum rank for consideration", which is only an eligibility floor and does not guarantee an offer.

Semester 1, 2026, from TISC admission-rank reports (each university links to its report). A selection rank is your ATAR plus any adjustments; the minimum rank for considerationis only an eligibility floor. A dash (“—”) in the offered column means no offers were based on ATAR alone last year; “n/a” means selection isn’t ATAR-based. Figures change every year.

Read this before you rely on a number.A “cutoff” is last year’s lowest selection rank — not a minimum ATAR and not a guarantee. Students whose ATAR is below it can still get offers once adjustments lift their selection rank, and competitive courses may also use tests, interviews and prerequisites. Always confirm on TISC and with the university. Full explainer: how WA ATAR cutoffs work.
