Australian Degree Attestation
Australian Degree Attestation
Australian university degrees are highly regarded in the UAE, and thousands of Australian graduates work across the Emirates in healthcare, engineering, education, finance, and other sectors. To take up employment or obtain a professional licence, your Australian degree must be apostilled by DFAT and, in most cases, attested by UAE MOFA.
Green Apple Attest handles the full attestation process for degrees from all Australian universities including the Group of Eight, Australian Technology Network, and all other TEQSA-registered institutions. We coordinate with the university for verification where needed, manage the DFAT apostille in Canberra, and complete MOFA attestation in the UAE.
We also process graduate diplomas, postgraduate certificates, VET sector qualifications, and TAFE diplomas. Our team knows which Australian qualifications UAE licensing bodies recognise and can advise on any additional steps that may strengthen your application.

Insider Tips
Insider Tips
- If your testamur and transcript have different names due to a name change, include your name change documentation. Consistency across all documents prevents delays.
- Australian degrees issued electronically need to be printed as certified copies for DFAT apostille. Contact your university for a physical certified copy if you only have a digital version.
- Healthcare professionals should check the DHA or DOH approved institution lists before starting attestation to confirm their university and programme are recognised.
Frequently Asked Questions
DFAT does not always require university verification for the apostille itself, but some UAE licensing bodies may request a verification letter from the university alongside the attested degree. We advise on what your specific situation requires.
Yes. TAFE certificates and diplomas and other VET sector qualifications can be apostilled by DFAT and attested for UAE use. The qualification must be issued by a TEQSA or ASQA-registered provider.
The full process from DFAT apostille to MOFA attestation takes approximately 12 to 18 working days. If university verification is also needed, add 5 to 10 working days depending on the institution.
Australian medical and nursing degrees are well-regarded by DHA, DOH, and MOH. However, recognition depends on the specific institution and programme. Most Group of Eight and established university health programmes are recognised. We can advise based on your institution.
