Universities Australia welcomes the opportunity to make this submission to the Triennial Review of the Code of Conduct for Copyright Collecting Societies.

As the peak body representing Australia’s university sector, Universities Australia notes that Australia’s universities operate in a global labour market, characterised by a two-way flow of academic talent.

On 10 November, UA made a short submission made by UA to TEQSA’s consultation on its draft compliance guides on scholarship, work-integrated learning and admissions (coursework). These guides are updated and simplified versions of publications previously known as TEQSA Guidance Notes. Although UA supports streamlining and simplification of these publications, we have expressed concern that the proposed title of ‘compliance guides’ may not accurately reflect the purpose and status of the documents, and have accordingly suggested some minor revisions.
