I reckon its possible to get into the Acturial program At Melb Uni without spesh maths.
If so, this means that you have to take maths subjects as breadth.
I have a friend who is doing Commerce and is doing a acturial major without 3/4 spesh maths...
She did:
Semester 1: Calculus 1
Semester 2: Calculus 2 and Linear Algebra (im not sure why she did linear algebra that semester but I could always ask her :D)

I'm guessing they'd have a pretty similar policy (and of course the maths courses at Monash would be easier).
Are you certain that you want to do Actuarial Studies? Not discouraging you particularly, but there's a pretty high dropout rate as it's an extremely difficult course.

^ im considering it. Is first year commerce just a general degree or do they make you pick your specialization when you first enrol?

at least if you plan on getting your CA accreditation or majoring in Actuarial Studies, you would have to pick it from the start. i did post up a first year program for Commerce students at UoM that keeps all your options open.
