The re-election of the Albanese Labor government with a strong majority, provides a rare opportunity for major higher education policy reforms. Some of the government’s priorities were articulated by the Australian Universities Accord, but which of the 47 recommendations are likely to be implemented? Both major parties sought to deflect concerns about inflation and housing on to international students, but will that scapegoating persist after the election?

In this webinar, jointly organised with HERDSA Victoria, Associate Professor Gwil Croucher and Professor Christopher Ziguras from the University of Melbourne’s Centre for the Study of Higher Education will share their insights.

Introductory remarks - Professor Puspha Sinnayah, HERDSA Victoria Chair

This webinar is jointly organised by the Centre for the Study of Higher Education (CSHE) and the Higher Education Research and Development Society of Australasia (HERDSA) - Victoria.
