Apple today kicked off its annual Back to School promotion across Australia, New Zealand and Japan. Advertised under the “Back to Uni” tagline, these deals offer students, teachers and university staff members an Apple Store credit in exchange for a qualified iMac, Mac Pro, MacBook/Air/Pro or iPad Pro purchase made from February 7 to March 16.
The promotion is combinable with educational pricing discounts on Macs, iPads and AppleCare products. Built-to-order Mac models qualify for these deals as well, but refurbished devices and lower-cost computers like Mac mini do not.
Australian customers will get a A$100 Apple Store gift card when purchasing a qualifying Mac model for university, or a gift card worth A$70 when buying an iPad Pro.
In Australia, the promotion is available to:
- Full-time or part-time students aged 18+
- Lecturers

Those who are not studying at accredited Australian universities or Apple-approved educational institutions are not eligible for “Back to Uni”. Eligible customers can call 133-622 in Australia or read the full promo terms on Apple’s website.
