Love talking to people and hitting goals? As a Senior Future Student Advisor at Collarts, you’ll guide passionate students into life-changing courses, all while enjoying hybrid flexibility and uncapped commissions. We are proud to welcome a diverse range of learners to our VET and HE courses, and see difference as powerful. Our small classes and boutique campuses mean students are seen, known and cared for and we strive to provide an exceptional experience for students.

About us:

Collarts (and its predecessor Ausmusic) began more than 30 years ago with three programs, a handful of students and a small team of dedicated lecturers. Our foundation disciplines were music and audio – a proudly rock and roll start to life.

Operating as Collarts from 2010, today we teach more than 2,000 students from over 30 countries in 4 campuses and 50 high schools. We offer 24 degree programs, 5 vocational certificates and we’re ranked #1 for QILT student engagement for creative industry providers in Australia. We welcome international students from more than 30 countries and host exchange students from China, Germany, France and the USA.

We have some of the brightest minds in industry across all disciplines: ARIA award winners, renowned playwrights, actors and comedians, leading film and screen directors, DOLBY Atmos practitioners, recognised music producers and sound engineers, design and animation award winners, and some of the most experienced and respected event and entertainment academics in Australia.

In 2024 we launched a new Strategic Plan, Creativity on Purpose, with goals focused on reach, engagement, sustainability and quality. The plan represents an inflection point for Collarts, as we find new audiences, launch new online and postgraduate products and work towards University College status. It’s the perfect time to join the team: welcome to Australia’s best creative education community.
