69-670: The reforms were proposed in Higher education: a policy discussion paper ('the green paper') which was published in December 1987 and announced in Higher education: a policy statement ('the white paper') published in July 1988. The reforms took place over several years; implementation of the HECS system began in 1989, and Federation University, Southern Cross University and the University of

138-676: A 15% bonus, from 1 January 2005 this was reduced to 10% and from 1 January 2012 this was reduced to 5%. From 1 January 2017 the Government removed the 5% repayment bonus.

207-530: A CRC, composed of the Federal Government monies combined with industry and university funds, was used to fund industry-driven projects with a high potential for commercialisation. It was perceived that this would lead to CRCs becoming self-sustaining (self-funding) entities in the long-term, although this has not eventuated. Most Australian universities have some involvement as partners in CRCs, and CSIRO

276-629: A comparatively high proportion of international students as a percentage of students enrolled, at 26.5% in 2018. Australia has the fifth-highest number of foreign students worldwide. The 56% of 462,033 international students in Australia are from top-5 nations; China (23%), India (16%), Nepal (10%), Colombia (4%) and Thailand (3%) with enrollment ratio of 50% in Higher Education (229,833), 35% VET (162,193), 11% ELICOS English language course (50,246), 2% Schools (19,704) and 2% Non-Award (8,057). In 2022, 69% of Australians aged 20–64 had

345-543: A compulsory HELP repayment, but a person with a HRI of $ 80,000 would make a payment of $ 4,400. This is 5.5% of the HRI (not taxable income or the debt balance) of $ 80,000. The compulsory repayment amount cannot exceed the balance of the HELP debt. The rates for compulsory repayment since 2006 have been: It is also possible to make voluntary payments to further reduce the debt. Until 31 December 2004 voluntary payments over $ 500 earned

414-538: A contribution to the higher education provider towards the cost of a student's education. The student makes a contribution towards the cost of education, known as the "Student Contribution" (SC). Commonwealth supported places are available to citizens of Australia and New Zealand and Australian permanent residents . The majority of CSPs are managed through the Tertiary Admissions Centre (TACs) in each state or territory, although universities make

483-487: A mass education system. As a result, undergraduate student numbers increased dramatically as universities were given economies of scale . There were also many mergers between universities and CAEs, with some successful ( University of Queensland Gatton Campus), and others not so (the University of New England and the then Northern Rivers CAE which subsequently split acrimoniously to become Southern Cross University), and others didn't proceed ( Australian National University and

552-472: A maximum of 7 years full-time (16 years part-time) at CSP rates. This is known as a Student Learning Entitlement (SLE). After that period the student has to take either a FEE-HELP loan (if available) or study at full-fee rates. If a student receives a HECS-HELP loan, the Commonwealth government pays the loan amount directly to the higher education provider on behalf of the student. An alternative option

621-448: A national system of Cooperative Research Centres (CRCs). These new centres were focused on a narrow band of research themes (e.g., photonics , cast metals, etc.) and were intended to foster cooperation between universities and industry. A typical CRC would be composed of a number of industry partners, university partners and CSIRO. Each CRC would be funded by the Federal Government for an initial period of several years. The total budget of

690-466: A particular semester, anything less is considered a part-time student. Between 2012 and 2017, an eligible student who paid the entire or a part of the student contribution upfront received a 10% HECS discount on the amount paid (prior to 2012, the HECS discount was 20%). Only Australian citizens and permanent humanitarian visa holders were eligible for the up-front 10% HECS discount. The up-front discount

759-519: A rise in bullying tactics among university management, a decline in the freedom of academic speech and inquiry, and a loss of academic collegiality. Among the Dawkins reforms is the encouragement of the use of various metrics to assess and rate research output. These measures have been subjected to intense criticism. For example, the pressure placed on academics to seek external research grants, and be rated on their ability to do so, has been criticised on

828-608: A significant component of their overall activities. For this reason, the Australian Government established the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) in 1926 as a backbone for Australian scientific research, which still exists today. Two university colleges and no new universities were established before World War II . On the eve of the war, Australia's population reached seven million. The university participation level

897-578: A tertiary qualification, and 24% had multiple qualifications. Among all the ethnic groups in Australia , the Indian Australians are the highest educated group in Australia with 54.6% having a bachelor's or higher degree, more than three times Australia's national average of 17.2%. The first university established in Australia was the University of Sydney in 1850, followed in 1853 by

966-602: A threshold level – at that point, the fees are automatically deducted through income tax. By the late 1980s, the Australian tertiary education system was still a three-tier system, composed of: However, by this point, the roles of the universities, institutes of technology and the CSIRO had also become blurred. Institutes of technology had moved from their traditional role of undergraduate teaching and industry-consulting towards conducting pure and applied research. They also had

1035-1063: Is formal education beyond high school in Australia , consisting of both government and private institutions and divided into two sectors; Higher Education (provided by universities) and Vocational Education and Training (VET) provided by government-owned TAFEs & private Registered Training Organisations (RTO). Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF), the Australian national education policy, classifies tertiary qualification into 10 levels : level 1 to 4 vocational certificates (I - IV); level 5 & 6 undergraduate diploma and advanced diploma ; level 6 associate degree ; level 7 bachelor degree , level 8 bachelor honours degree & graduate certificates and graduate diplomas ; level 9 for master's degree ; and level 10 PhD . Most universities are government owned and mostly self-regulated. For other institutes (VETs, i.e. TAFE & RTO) there are two national regulators for tertiary education for registration, recognition and quality assurance of both

1104-491: Is FEE-HELP which provides eligible fee-paying students with a loan to cover their tertiary education fees. The Commonwealth government determines the number and allocation of undergraduate "Commonwealth Supported Places" (CSP) with each public higher education provider each year, through the Commonwealth Grant Scheme (CGS). A CSP is a higher education place for which the Commonwealth government makes

1173-819: Is also significantly represented across the spectrum of these centres. This has led to a further blurring of the role of CSIRO and how it fits in with research in Australian universities. From 1989 to 1999, there was an increase of 28% in adults studying in post-compulsory courses, most of which whom were studying in the tertiary sector. In 2006, Campion College was opened in Sydney as a Roman Catholic liberal arts tertiary college, with an original intake of 16 students, growing to 30-40 per year. In 2008, Canberra lifted restrictions on university enrolments, in order to make tertiary education more accessible to students from socioeconomic groups which had previously had relatively low levels of participation in higher education. In 2017

1242-474: Is available in the form of scholarships . Overseas students are charged fees for the full cost of their education and are ineligible for HELP loans, but may apply for international scholarships. In 1940, the Curtin Labor dramatically increased the number of scholarships to increase the number of university graduates and allowed women avail these scholarships as they were previously exclusive to men. In

1311-567: Is largely controlled by the Commonwealth Government . For most domestic students in higher education, the Commonwealth Government provides loans, subsidies, and/or social security welfare payments & benefits to relieve the cost of tertiary education. These benefits are not available to international students . Some domestic students are supported by the government and are required to pay only part of

1380-557: Is the ratio of papers cited from a journal to papers published in that journal) - considered an inappropriate measure of research quality, as the impact factor of a journal is not necessarily related to the relevance of that journal to a given field. Other critics, especially those among the Group of Eight , saw these reforms as "dumbing down" higher education, as college diploma students became university graduates overnight. The traditional universities now had to compete for research funds with

1449-621: The HECS , the conversion of all Colleges of Advanced Education (CAEs) into universities, and a series of provisions for universities to provide plans, profiles, statistics etc. to justify courses and research. These aims and methods drew heavily from New Public Management and an emerging neoliberalism that was present in other reforms of the Hawke Government , which was greatly concerned with economic productivity in an era of high unemployment and high inflation. The reforms succeeded in turning Australia's elite university system into

1518-399: The University of Melbourne . Prior to federation in 1901 two more universities were established: the University of Adelaide (1874) and the University of Tasmania (1890). At the time of federation, Australia's population was 3,788,100 and there were fewer than 2,652 university students. Two other universities were established soon after federation: the University of Queensland (1909) and

1587-482: The University of Newcastle (1965), Flinders University (1966), James Cook University (1970), Griffith University (1971), Deakin University (1974), Murdoch University (1975), and the University of Wollongong (1975). By 1960, the number of students enrolled in Australian Universities had reached 53,000. By 1975 there were 148,000 students in 19 universities. Until 1973, university tuition

1656-510: The University of Western Australia (1911). All of these universities were controlled by State governments and were largely modelled on the traditional British university system and adopted both architectural and educational features in line with the (then) strongly influential 'mother' country. In his paper Higher Education in Australia: Structure, Policy and Debate Jim Breen observed that in 1914 only 3,300 students (or 0.1% of

1725-674: The Whitlam Labor government abolished university fees to make tertiary education in Australia more accessible to working and middle class Australians. In 1989, the Hawke Labor government began gradually re-introducing fees for university study and setup the Higher Education Contributions Scheme (HECS). In 1996, the new Howard Coalition government , introduced tiers in the HECS fee structure (now called HECS-HELP). Fees are charged on

1794-598: The " Australasian Conference of Tertiary Admission Centres " (ACTAC) which calculates an Australia-wide ATAR-like national rank called "Combined Rank" (CR). Domestic students usually pay lot less subsidised-fees compared to the International students. Additionally, the domestic students are entitled to publicly funded universal health care insurance scheme Medicare , Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) and various social security welfare payments & benefits , e.g. Austudy Payment, Youth Allowance, etc. , to meet

1863-636: The " domestic students " regardless of whether they did the prior schooling in Australia or overseas. All others are considered the " international students ". Domestic students need to apply only once to the TACs (State-based unified Tertiary Admission Center) of the relevant state for admission to all the universities within that state, which grant admission based on the ATAR -based " Selection Rank " (SR). Those students with International Baccalaureate (IB), both domestic and international students, must apply to

1932-464: The "provider institutes" as well as the "individual courses" provided by the providers. Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA) regulates institutes which provide education from level 5 or above. Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) regulates institutes which provide education from level 1 to level 6. For admission in Australian institutes, Australian & New Zealand citizens or Australian permanent residents , are considered

2001-606: The 1960s, the Menzies Liberal rapidly established new universities, mostly in outlying suburbs , and offered special research scholarships to encourage students to undertake postgraduate research studies. Many of these universities are members of Innovative Research Universities Australia . In 1967, the government created a category of Commonwealth-funded non-university tertiary institution, called College of Advanced Education (CAE), to provide cheaper & easier access to equivalent of bachelor's degrees. In 1970s,

2070-454: The Australian government up to a lifetime limit of $ 150,000 for medicine, dentistry and veterinary science programs and $ 104,440 for all other programs. Student fees for vocational education vary between jurisdictions, with some states implementing fee-free courses in some fields and all offering some form of government subsidised training. Funding responsibilities for student fee subsidies are agreed between state and territory governments and

2139-605: The Australian population) were enrolled in universities. In 1920 the Australian Vice-Chancellors' Committee (AVCC) was formed to represent the interests of these six universities. The 'non-university' institutions originally issued only trade/technical certificates, diplomas and professional bachelor's degrees. Although universities were differentiated from technical colleges and institutes of technology through their participation in research, Australian universities were initially not established with research as

2208-628: The CSIRO which had been set up for this function. Australians had performed well internationally in pure research, having scored almost a dozen Nobel Prizes as a result of their participation in pure research. In the 1990s, the Hawke/Keating Federal Government sought to redress the shortcoming in applied research by creating a cultural shift in the national research profile. This was achieved by introducing university scholarships and research grants for postgraduate research in collaboration with industry, and by introducing

2277-570: The Canberra CAE, now the University of Canberra ). The introduction of HECS meant a significant new revenue stream for universities was unlocked without further relying on government grants and without introducing large financial barriers to study in the form of up-front student fees. Similarly, changes to research funding supported strong growth in research training places over the following decades. The Dawkins reforms have attracted criticism particularly from academic circles for what's viewed as

2346-529: The Commonwealth assumed full responsibility for funding higher education (i.e., universities and Colleges of Advanced Education (CAEs) ) and established the Commonwealth Tertiary Education Commission (CTEC), which had an advisory role and responsibility for allocating government funding among universities. However, in 1975, in the context of federal political crisis and economic recession, triennial funding of universities

2415-532: The Commonwealth contributed one quarter of the recurrent costs of "State" universities. In 1954, the University of New England was established. In that year, Robert Menzies established the Committee on Australian Universities. The Murray Committee Inquiry of 1957 found that financial stringency was the root cause of the shortcomings across universities: short staffing, poor infrastructure, high failure rates, weak honours and postgraduate schools. It also accepted

2484-676: The Commonwealth under the National Skills Agreement which commenced at the start of 2024. Australian citizens (and in some cases overseas professionals completing bridging studies in order to be accredited permanent residents ) are able to obtain loans from the government under the Higher Education Loan Programme ( HELP ) which replaced the Higher Education Contribution Scheme ( HECS ). As of April 2016,

2553-510: The Gillard government. Other students may obtain a full fee place (FFP) if they do not receive a Commonwealth supported place, subject to meeting relevant qualifications. Most postgraduate courses do not have Commonwealth supported places available and therefore, all these students are full fee-paying. Fee-paying students are charged the full cost of their course, with no Commonwealth contribution. Some fee-paying students can obtain loans under

2622-662: The Higher Education Loan Programme, called FEE-HELP loans, to cover all or part of their fees. This is available to Australian citizens, New Zealand citizens and permanent humanitarian visa holders. Undergraduate students who obtain these loans are charged a 20% loan fee on top of the amount borrowed. This does not apply to post graduate courses. Students are able to borrow a lifetime maximum FEE-HELP loan of $ 112,134 for medicine, dentistry and veterinary science programs and $ 89,706 for all other programs (adjusted for inflation ). In 2005, FEE-HELP loans replaced

2691-713: The Open Learning Deferred Payment Scheme (OLDPS), the Postgraduate Education Loan Scheme (PELS) and the Bridging for Overseas-Trained Professionals Loan Scheme (BOTPLS). OS-HELP is a loan scheme to assist some undergraduate domestic students to undertake some, but not all, of their course of study overseas. Students are able to obtain a loan up to $ 6,470 (if the student will not be studying in Asia) or $ 7764 (if

HELP debts do not attract interest (in the normal sense), but are instead indexed to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) on 1 June each year, based on the annual CPI to March of that year. The indexation rate applied on 1 June 2006 was 2.8% and 3.4% on 1 June 2007. Indexation applies to

The reforms were aimed at enhancing the "quality, diversity and equity of access" to education while improving the "international competitiveness" of Australian universities , as well as a solution for the perceived brain drain . These reforms included the introduction of income contingent loans for tuition costs through

2898-513: The ability to award degrees through to Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) level. For a number of reasons, including clarifying the role of institutes of technology, the Federal Minister for Education of the time ( John Dawkins ) created the unified national system, which compressed the former three-tier tertiary education system into a two-tier system. This required a number of amalgamations and mergers between smaller tertiary institutions, and

2967-656: The amount of money owed to the Australian government under the HECS scheme was AUD$ 60 billion and is expected to increase to $ 180 billion by 2026. HELP is jointly administered by the Australian Department of Education, Skills and Employment and the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). In addition, qualified students may be entitled to Youth Allowance or Austudy Payment to assist them financially while they are studying. These support payments are means and assets tested. Further assistance

3036-410: The application of neoliberal ideology to universities. Common criticisms regarding the Dawkins reforms are that they were an attempt to reduce public funding of universities, 'commercialise' university education, and expose research to 'subjective' market pressures. Other critics allege that the reforms have led to a culture of "corporate managerialism" in universities, and that they have been related to

3105-420: The basis of the perceived value of courses. Courses considered to have most likelihood of generating higher income for students in the future (e.g. Law and Medicine ) are the most expensive and those least likely to generate higher income (e.g. Nursing and Arts ) are the least expensive. Since 2007, HECS places are known as Commonwealth Supported Places (CSP). A student in a CSP is only entitled to study for

3174-433: The basis that different fields of research require different levels of funding, and external grants may not even be necessary. University managements are accused of shifting the responsibility for acquiring funding onto academics. Academics are also critical of allegedly objective ratings of the "quality" of research output, often determined by looking at the "impact factor" of journals in which they publish (the 'impact factor'

3243-418: The cost of tuition, called the "student contribution", and the government pays the balance. Some government supported students can defer payment of their contribution as a HECS-HELP loan. Other domestic students are full fee-paying (non-Commonwealth supported) and do not receive direct government contribution to the cost of their education. Some domestic students in full fee courses can obtain a FEE-HELP loan from

3312-503: The establishment of Australia's first private university, Bond University . Founded by businessman Alan Bond , this Gold Coast institution was granted its university status by the Queensland government in 1987. For the most part, up until the 1990s, the traditional Australian universities had focused upon pure, fundamental, and basic research rather than industry or applied research – a proportion of which had been well supported by

3381-487: The financial recommendations in full, which led to increased funds to the sector and establishment of Australian Universities Commission (AUC) and the conclusion that the Commonwealth Government should accept greater responsibility for the States' universities. In 1958, Monash University was established. States Grants (Universities) Act 1958 allocated funding to States for capital and recurrent expenditure in universities for

3450-536: The government introduced a freeze on the demand led funding structure, such that admitting more students did not result in a higher funding for institutions, in order to control spending. In between January 2020 and September 2022, COVID-19 pandemic and Delta cron hybrid variant has both impacted Australian tertiary/higher education sector by reducing revenue by A$ 3 – 4.6 billion. Australian universities depend on overseas students for their revenue. Federal Education Minister Dan Tehan announced $ 252 million to support

3588-561: The impetus of CRTS. In 1949, the University of New South Wales was established. During the 1950s, enrolments increased by 30,000 and participation rates doubled. In 1950, the Mills Committee Inquiry into university finances, focusing on short-term rather than long-term issues, resulted in the State Grants (Universities) Act 1951 being enacted (retrospective to 1 July 1950). It was a short-term scheme under which

3657-548: The living expenses. The international students are not entitled to these benefits. All international students apply individually to each University, and most international students are self-financed non-subsidised full-fee paying students. There are 43 universities registered in Australia (including 37 public universities, four private universities, and one international private university). Many Australian universities have formed several network groupings , such as Group of Eight (8 leading universities which receive two thirds of

Tertiary education fees in Australia Tertiary education fees in Australia are payable for courses at tertiary education institutions . Responsibility for fees in vocational education and training (VET) rests primarily with the state and territory governments, while fees policy in higher education

3795-459: The next year. After indexation, the new balance is rounded down to a whole dollar amount. Additionally, HELP debts are subject to a 25% fee which does not count towards a student’s HELP debt limit. As of 1 January 2017 the Commonwealth Government removed the 5% voluntary repayment bonus on all HELP debt repayments. If a person with an accumulated HELP debt dies, any compulsory repayment included on their income tax notice of assessment relating to

3864-468: The option for institutes of technology to become universities. As a result of these reforms, institutes of technology disappeared and were replaced by a collection of new universities. By the early 1990s, the two-tier tertiary education was in place in Australia – university education and Technical and Further Education (TAFE). By the early years of the new millennium, even TAFE colleges were permitted to offer degrees up to bachelor's level. The 1980s also saw

3933-485: The part of the debt that has been unpaid for 11 months or more. Thus, indexation is calculated on the opening HELP debt balance on 1 July of the previous year plus any debt incurred in the first half of the current year (usually for first semester courses) less any compulsory and voluntary repayments, with bonus. Any HELP debt incurred on second semester courses (usually determined in June) will not be subject to indexation until

4002-508: The period prior to their death must be paid from their estate, but the remainder of their debt is cancelled. HELP debts are administered by the Australian Taxation Office and will be repaid compulsorily over time through the taxation system. If the HELP Repayment Income (HRI) of a person with a HELP debt exceeds a certain threshold, which for the 2014/15 financial year is $ 53,345, a compulsory payments will be deducted from

4071-406: The person's tax for the year. The HRI is the person's taxable income plus any net rental loss claimed against that taxable income and adding fringe benefits, reportable superannuation contributions and foreign income received, normally exempt from taxation. Unlike marginal tax rates, the repayment rate applies on the full HRI, so that a person with a HRI below $ 45,881 in 2019/20 will not need to make

Unlike other loans in the HELP, the loan amount is paid directly to the student and the terms for the loans are set out by the tertiary providers. As in the FEE-HELP loan scheme, a 20% fee applies on the amount borrowed. This 20% "administration fee" was removed for OS-HELP loans received after January 1, 2010. SA-HELP loan covers

4416-513: The triennial 1958 to 1960. In 1959, Australian Universities Commission Act of 1959 was established the AUC as a statutory body to advise the Commonwealth Government on university matters. Between 1958 and 1960 there was more than a 13% annual increase in university enrolments. By 1960, there were 53,000 students in ten universities. There was a spate of universities established in the 1960s and 70s: Macquarie University (1964), La Trobe University (1964),

4485-597: The war, in recognition of the increased demand for teachers for the "baby boom" generation and the importance of higher education in national economic growth, the Commonwealth Government took an increased role in the financing of higher education from the States. In 1946 the Australian National University was created by an Act of Federal Parliament as a national research only institution (research and postgraduate research training for national purposes). By 1948 there were 32,000 students enrolled, under

4554-520: Was funded either through Commonwealth scholarships , which were based on merit, or through fees. Tertiary education in Australia was structured into three sectors: During the early 1970s, there was a significant push to make tertiary education in Australia more accessible to working and middle-class people. In 1973, the Whitlam Labor Government abolished university fees. This increased the university participation rate. In 1974,

4623-596: Was relatively low. Australia had six universities and two university colleges with combined student numbers of 14,236. 10,354 were degree students (including only 81 higher degree students) and almost 4,000 sub-degree or non-award students. In 1942, the Universities Commission was created to regulate university enrolments and the implementation of the Commonwealth Reconstruction Training Scheme (CRTS). After

4692-411: Was removed on 1 January 2017. The total funding available to institutions per equivalent full-time student is the combination of the student contribution (divided into 3 different amounts/bands) and the Commonwealth government contribution (divided into 8 different amounts/clusters). For 2017 these are: Full fee places for Australian undergraduate students were phased out in 2009 under reforms made by

4761-467: Was suspended. Demand remained with growth directed to CAEs and State-controlled TAFE colleges. By the mid-1980s, the method by which fees were re-introduced proved to be a system accepted by both Federal political parties and consequently is still in place today. The system is known as the Higher Education Contribution Scheme (HECS) and enables students to defer payment of fees until after they commence professional employment, and after their income exceeds
