ACX3500 / ACX5951

Accounting study tour

Victoria and Tasmania, 1 – 15 July 2026

About this program

Selected students will be enrolled in units ACX3500 or ACX5951 for the WS-01 teaching period. This unit may count towards your postgraduate or undergraduate degree as a major, capstone, or elective unit.

This study tour offers a unique opportunity to delve into accounting issues with a focus on environmental, social, and sustainability considerations in the public sector and not-for-profit. Through visits in Tasmania and Victoria, students will gain valuable insights into how these critical themes intersect with accounting practices in real-world settings.

This tour will focus on three key sectors: public health, not-for-profit and the arts, to understand how 'value' and 'service' are defined within social and public spaces.

The program will include a masterclass on the circular economy offering students an immersive experience in this growing field. Additionally, we will visit several organisations to explore their approach to organic accounting where we will examine agricultural accounting practices.

Students are required to attend a one hour pre-departure session from 2pm 25 June 2026 at the Caulfield campus.
