The Australian Centre for Student Equity and Success acknowledges Indigenous peoples across Australia as the Traditional Owners of the lands on which the nation’s campuses are situated. With a history spanning more than 60,000 years as the original educators, Indigenous peoples hold a unique place in our nation. We recognise the importance of their knowledge and culture, and reflect the principles of participation, equity, and cultural respect in our work. We pay our respects to Elders past, present, and future, and consider it an honour to learn from our Indigenous colleagues, partners, and friends.

Event information

The Coalition Government have proposed significant changes to funding universities and student contributions, alongside a suite of other policy measures that affect Australian higher education.

The complexity of the proposals means the devil is in the detail, with much still unclear about the implications for students and universities.

The Melbourne CSHE is hosting an expert discussion to examine key details and implications of the package, with presentations by Frank Larkins, Tamson Pietsch and Mark Warburton.

Professor Emeritus Frank Larkins is an Honorary Professorial Fellow of the Melbourne CSHE and former Deputy Vice-Chancellor at the University.

Associate Professor Tamson Pietsch is Senior Lecturer in Social & Political Sciences and Director of the Australian Centre for Public History at UTS.

Mark Warburton is an Honorary Senior Fellow of the Melbourne CSHE, a director of PhillipsKPA and former senior public servant with responsibility for higher education funding.
