What Makes Australian Thesis Format Different
If you're using a LaTeX template you found online or one designed for a US or UK university, it probably won't meet your Australian university's requirements out of the box. Here's what's different.
A4 Paper, Not US Letter
LaTeX defaults to US Letter paper size (8.5 × 11 inches). Australian universities require A4 (210 × 297mm). This seems trivial, but it affects every margin calculation, every float placement, and the final page count. A thesis that fits in 200 pages on US Letter may run to 210 on A4 - or vice versa. We configure A4 in both the document class and the geometry package.
Thesis by Publication (Compilation Thesis)
The thesis-by-publication format - where your thesis chapters are published or submitted journal papers with connecting text - is increasingly common in Australian PhDs, especially in STEM and health sciences. Each paper chapter may have been originally formatted for a different journal template, and they need to be unified into a single thesis style while maintaining internal consistency.
The typical structure we build: a general introduction chapter, individual paper chapters (reformatted from their journal templates into the thesis template), connecting text between papers, and a concluding discussion chapter. Each paper's bibliography can either be per-chapter (using chapterbib or bibunits) or consolidated into a single reference list - the choice depends on your university's requirements, and we configure either approach.
Front Matter Requirements Vary by University
Australian universities are particular about the order and content of preliminary pages. Common elements: title page with prescribed wording, declaration of originality, preface (including contribution statements for collaborative work), abstract, acknowledgements, table of contents, list of figures/tables, and abbreviation list.
The order matters. Melbourne requires: abstract, declaration, preface, acknowledgements, TOC. ANU requires: declaration, abstract, acknowledgements, TOC. Some universities require a signed declaration page to be included as a scanned PDF - we handle the \includepdf integration for this. We verify the exact sequence for your specific university before we start.
Australian Citation Styles
Australian theses commonly use APA 7th edition, Harvard (author-date), or Vancouver (numbered) citation styles, depending on the discipline. Engineering and sciences often use IEEE or Vancouver numbering. Social sciences and education typically require APA 7th. We configure the exact citation style your department specifies.

Group of Eight Universities We've Formatted For
The Group of Eight (Go8) represents Australia's leading research-intensive universities. Each has its own thesis formatting requirements, and some provide official LaTeX templates while others only offer Word templates or PDF style guides.
University of Melbourne
Melbourne has detailed thesis formatting requirements set by the Graduate Research Office. An official LaTeX template exists on Overleaf, based on the Research Higher Degree Committee's rules. Requirements include specific margin widths, 1.5 line spacing, Times New Roman or Computer Modern font, and a prescribed title page format. We've formatted multiple Melbourne theses and know the template's limitations.
Australian National University (ANU)
ANU provides an unofficial LaTeX thesis template (anuthesis package) available on Overleaf and GitHub. The template uses the book class with Palatino font by default. ANU's formatting requirements are relatively flexible compared to Melbourne's, but the declaration page wording is specific and must match exactly.
University of Sydney
Sydney has a LaTeX template for the Engineering school on Overleaf, but many other faculties only provide Word guidelines. We adapt the formatting requirements from Sydney's Postgraduate Research Handbook into a clean LaTeX document that matches their specifications.
UNSW Sydney
UNSW provides thesis formatting guidelines through the Graduate Research School but no official LaTeX template. We build UNSW-compliant theses from scratch using the standard book class, configured to match UNSW's margin, font, spacing, and front matter requirements.
Queensland, Monash, Adelaide and Western Australia
Each Go8 university has its own formatting guide. Some have LaTeX templates (Monash has a well-maintained template); others rely on Word guidelines that need to be translated into LaTeX. Whether your university has a template or not, we deliver a thesis that meets their exact requirements.

Why Choose Us for Australian Thesis Formatting
Most thesis formatting services in Australia are general editing and proofreading companies. They'll fix your grammar and check your references, but they don't work in LaTeX and they don't deliver .tex source files. If your university requires or prefers LaTeX submission, you need a LaTeX specialist.
Formatting only. Your content stays yours.
We never modify your research text, data, or arguments. Many of our Australian clients were referred by their supervisors.
You get the .tex source files.
Not just a PDF. You own the LaTeX source code - clean, commented, and ready for any future edits.
We know Australian university requirements.
A4 paper, thesis-by-publication format, Go8 front matter sequences, Australian citation styles. Not a generic service applying US templates.
IPEd-compliant scope.
Our formatting service operates within the scope defined by the Institute of Professional Editors (IPEd) Guidelines for Editing Research Theses - formatting and layout assistance, not content editing. This means you can confidently declare our service in any academic integrity statement, and most Australian universities already permit it under their academic integrity policies.
