ACS - I know where their Melbourne office is, because I pass in on the 12 tram (but perhaps it’s just the signage, not yet removed).
When I saw ASC I thought that the taxi driver might have meant the ‘Australian Sports Commission. Did they collect anything from the Essendon FC fiasco? $12,500 per player seems cheap.

Haven''t even heard ACS since like 2000. Never comes up in interviews or any conversation at all from my experience.

But last night I had a Pakistani taxi driver who had just got his masters in IT. He spoke with enthusiasm about the ASC and how he was going to be paying them $12500 over the next year so that he could be accredited in IT. (!!) I just want to test the waters here; are the ASC relevant? Are they doing a good job? Does anyone ask for ACS accreditation during interviews? I am in Melbourne for work at the moment. Maybe it is a regional thing?
