The Tertiary Open Day group contributes equal funding towards the joint open day and its promotion. This year's Open Day will be held on 30 August.
The Tertiary Open Day provides a unique opportunity for potential students to visit all Canberra's tertiary institutions in one day and discover what they have to offer.
Each year, the event attracts thousands of potential students, their families and members of the community from across the Canberra region, interstate and overseas. Last year, a record 6,500 people visited the University of Canberra for Open Day.
