The diploma of Ophthalmology of the University of Melbourne was the first Australian specialist qualification for ophthalmologists. Between 1934 and 1979, 100 were awarded. Many of the Diplomates became senior consultant ophthalmologists and held high office in Australian ophthalmological societies. The University Diplomas of Melbourne, Sydney and Queensland formed an academic base which provided experience in administration, teaching and examining, making possible the formation of the Royal Australian College of Ophthalmologists. The Fellowship examination of the College (FRACO), controlled by ophthalmologists from all States, became the entry to the college and has superseded the University Diplomas.
墨尔本大学眼科学文凭是澳大利亚首个眼科医生的专科资格。1934年至1979年间，共颁发了100份该文凭。许多获得该文凭者成为了眼科高级顾问，并在澳大利亚眼科协会担任高职。墨尔本大学、悉尼大学和昆士兰大学的文凭构成了一个学术基础，提供了管理、教学和考试方面的经验，使得澳大利亚皇家眼科医学院的成立成为可能。由各州眼科医生掌控的该学院的院士资格考试（FRACO）成为进入学院的途径，并已取代了大学文凭。
