Its called advanced standing or articulation.


Basically you do an Advanced Diploma for 2 yrs, and they give you 1.5 yrs at uni


As you "lose" 6 months , you prehaps are better off going straight to uni (assuming you get the maRKS)

Also depends if the units you do at TAFE are able to be transferred over as units of credit at university.

There are cases where NONE of your tafe studies count, I have a friend who transfered to uni from doing an Advanced Dip and he got no credit for his studies at all..

Contact the universities. Ask them about courses, which TAFE courses have credit, how much credit they're worth etc. Usually if your TAFE qualifications are relevant to the course you want to enter the university will give you credit for some or all of your subjects.
