MORE THAN 6,600 people will receive CAO offers this morning.

This early round, known as Round A, is mainly offers for mature applicants, mature nursing or midwifery applicants, and deferred applicants.

Offers are also issued to some applicants who have completed an Access course, or those who may be required to make visa arrangements.

A total of 6,629 applicants will receive an offer today – of these, 4,968 will receive a Level 8 offer and 2,951 will receive a Level 7/6 offer. Some 1,290 applicants will receive an offer on both the Level 8 and Level 7/6 lists.

Successful applicants will also receive a paper offer notice by post, an email and a text message (if they have selected this option) with details of their offer.

Round A offers must be accepted by 5.15 pm next Thursday, 13 July.

“Failure to accept an offer by the reply date will result in the offer being cancelled,” CAO General Manager Joe O’Grady warned.
