With the support of Government, the nation’s universities can partner with business and community to make Australia a more productive and prosperous place, and a better place to live.

As the institutions responsible for training most of the teachers in Australia, Universities Australia’s members are key stakeholders in all work to assure and improve the quality and effectiveness of ITE. Accordingly, Universities Australia looks forward to working with Government on the review. An effective review will benefit ITE students and
providers and – most importantly – school students across the nation.

In a year like no other, Australia’s universities have been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent recession. Universities Australia has been counting the costs and identifying support measures that will help ensure Australians of all ages continue to benefit from a world-class higher education.
