How the Australia system works
Australian universities assess overseas qualifications directly, guided by the Country Education Profiles; there is no single national GPA, so most use a 7-point scale or a Weighted Average Mark (WAM).
The mapping above uses the most common Australian scale, but band cut-offs are set by each university. High Distinction starts at 85% at most and at 80% at others, and some universities use a 4-point GPA rather than a 7-point one. Treat this as a planning estimate and check the university you are applying to.
Is it competitive?
Most Australia master's programmes look for the equivalent of a US 3.0+ (an upper-second / good average), with competitive and funded programmes wanting more. Convert first, then check each programme's stated minimum. For a credit-weighted multi-course result, use the WES iGPA calculator.
