These institutions are for nearly all practical purposes, universities. However, they are deemed not to be because their academic focus is too narrow.
Each qualification these institutions offer must first be approved by the relevant state or territory authority. For the purposes of maintainability, the list below only aims to include institutions that create their own courses - not those that deliver courses created by others, or create only lesser courses. Links to full lists of Higher Education course originators can be found at the bottom of this section.
Institutions that only deliver higher education courses created by another institution can be found via the parent institution listed.

- Group Of Eight - the supposedly most prestigious universities.
- IRU Australia - universities that aim to have the prestige of the Group of Eight.
- Australian Technology Network - technically minded universities that promote themselves as offering more practical courses than the prestigious and trying-to-be-prestigious ones. Two of the Group of Eight were once "technical universities".
