Who we are
Contour was founded in 2020 by students who saw that the quality of your education was basically a lottery. Teachers stretched thin by the system, learning materials that varied from school to school, and support that stopped the moment you left the classroom. We began with 5 students in a room. Today 15,000+ students have trusted Contour as their academic partners, and we’ve grown to 500+ team members across 10 campuses in Australia. In 2025 we ranked #8 on the AFR Fast 100 of fastest-growing companies. We’ve produced hundreds of 99+ ATARs, tutored the world-record UCAT scorer, and placed 850+ students into medical and dental schools across Australia.
Contour is made up of three brands:
- Contour Education - academic performance in high school
- Contour MedPrep - entry into medical and dental schools
- Contour TestPrep - entry into selective and scholarship schools
Contour is built by students, for students.
