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.

You are reading: New Student Equity Data Guide on HEPPP allocations

Equity group definitions and the data used to calculate Higher Education Participation and Partnerships Program (HEPPP) allocations are publicly available, but finding and applying them isn’t always straightforward. To help, we’ve created a short Student Equity Data Guide designed to demystify the calculation.

This guide is part of our Student Equity Data Guide series, which aims to describe key data areas for student equity in higher education and is available in the Data Resources Hub on our website.

We’re always happy to hear from you if you have any feedback, questions, or specific topics you would like us to cover in future guides. We are also currently running a Data Program Survey to help us produce data reports, tools, and other data products that you may find useful. Your feedback will play a pivotal role in shaping our Data Program to better meet the needs of the higher education sector. The survey is open until Friday, 6 December.
